Siemens Medical Systems has ceded responsibility for global cyclotronsales and marketing to its PET partner, Computer Technology Imaging(CTI) of Knoxville, TN. The move enables Siemens to focus on marketingits PET products, according to Thomas Cafarella, group vice presidentof Siemens' nuclear medicine unit in Hoffman Estates, IL.
Siemens acquired marketing rights to CTI's PET scanner and RadioisotopeDelivery System (RDS) cyclotron through an investment and marketingagreement in 1987 (SCAN 11/25/87). Siemens will continue to handlesales and support of the ECAT PET line and will arrange for CTIsupport of cyclotron service contracts currently in place.

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.
