CompuMed debuted its digital OsteoView 2000 bone densitometry scanner at the annual meeting of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research held last week. OsteoView 2000 will allow diagnosis of both osteoporosis and arthritis, according to the Manhattan Beach, CA-based company.
The scanner leverages off a set of image processing and segmentation tools developed by CompuMed, as well as direct digital x-ray capture technology developed by Varian Associates and Xerox under a grant from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). CompuMed has received exclusive rights to the technology in the fields of appendicular bone mass measurement and automated arthritis detection, according to CompuMed. Clinical trials will begin in October for OsteoView 2000, and the company expects to receive Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance in 1998.

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.
