Diasonics develops new Gateway beamformer
Diasonics will use the RSNA meeting to introduce the latest memberof its Gateway scanner family, Gateway fx. The system makes useof a new expanded-aperture beamformer that combines the best ofanalog and digital beamformers, according to Ken Marich,
Diasonics will use the RSNA meeting to introduce the latest memberof its Gateway scanner family, Gateway fx. The system makes useof a new expanded-aperture beamformer that combines the best ofanalog and digital beamformers, according to Ken Marich, directorof marketing communications for the Santa Clara, CA, vendor.
The new beamformer produces very high dynamic range, betterimage quality, and increased Doppler sensitivity, Marich said.The new beamformer also enables the scanner to extend the focusof Diasonics' 2-D transducers into the deep abdomen. In addition,Gateway fx features a larger 12-inch dual monitor.
Gateway fx has 510(k) clearance, and Diasonics plans to beginshipments shortly after the RSNA show, with the scanner sellingfor $150,000 to $200,000.
Other new features to be shown in the Diasonics exhibit includeOB Advisory, an ob package that enhances the ability to determinethe gestational age of a fetus; SmartCaliper for the automatedplacement of measurement calipers; and OB Trend Analysis, whichenables clinicians to track six key fetal growth factors.
In the networking arena, Diasonics has expanded its supportfor the DICOM 3.0 print and storage classes to enable its scannersto make direct connections to DICOM-compatible workstations.
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.
