Biomagnetic Technologies of San Diego has formed a joint venture with another firm to develop high-temperature superconductive technology. In forming the joint venture, called Magnesensors, BTI will contribute its clean-room facility and superconducting device fabrication processes, while its partner, Quantum Magnetics of San Diego, will add its backlog of R&D contracts in the technology.
BTI and Quantum believe the technology to be developed by Magnesensors could be used for both healthcare and non-healthcare applications. For example, it could be used to monitor heart function of a fetus during pregnancy, or for industrial uses like detecting explosives. Magnesensors will be headed by former BTI veteran Mark Dilorio as president and CEO, and will start with equipment and personnel from both companies.
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.
