The Denmark-based subsidiary of Analogic, B-K Medical, exhibited several new ultrasound technologies at the American College of Surgeons Annual Clinical Congress in October. Topping the introductions were the Hawk 2102 EXL color scanner, the company's new flagship ultrasound scanner, and the new black-and-white Falcon 2101 EXL. Both incorporate advanced focusing and proprietary detector technology, large monitors, sophisticated video interface, and fully integrated 3D option. The Hawk also boasts improved Doppler functionality. Vascular scanning is enhanced by a new, dedicated transducer, dubbed type 8812, which combines deep Doppler sensitivity with near-field performance. The company also showed a new transducer optimized for breast and musculoskeletal scanning. The probe, which works with B-K's portable Merlin 1101, is pending FDA clearance for musculoskeletal applications.
Two weeks after the conference, the company announced the resignation of Rene Barington as its managing director. Barington held the post for six years.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
