Imaging Sciences International has developed a compact conebeam system modeled after medical CTs. The system, which utilizes an amorphous silicon flat panel in place of an image intensifier, promises 3D imaging at half the cost and less radiation than fanbeam CTs. The system, called i-CAT, also offers an advantage in siting, occupying less than 60 square feet. Its volumetric imaging provides dentists views of maxillofacial structures. The company is positioning the device as a means for dentists to avoid referring patients to local hospitals or medical imaging centers.
New Study Assesses Long-Term Outcomes of PSMA PET Use in PCa Recurrence Cases
October 24th 2024For patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, PSMA PET imaging may facilitate a 12.8 percent lower incidence of prostate cancer mortality in contrast to the combination of CT and bone scan, according to long-term outcome estimates from a new decision-analytic modeling study.
Can Diffusion MRI Predict Patient Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer?
October 23rd 2024A model emphasizing time-dependent diffusion MRI was 15 percent more effective than apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements at predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for women with breast cancer, according to new research.
