Privately held DOBI Medical Systems announced that it has arranged for $12 million in private equity with Sterling Financial Investment Group of Boca Raton, FL. The money will be used to further the engineering, design, and clinical testing of DOBI's patented breast cancer diagnosis system.
The Dynamic Optical Breast Imaging (DOBI) system recently commenced clinical tests as an investigational device at a number of sites in the U.S.
The DOBI system will be used initially as an adjunct to traditional mammography. It operates by detecting the effects of increased vascularization (angiogenesis) associated with the growth of malignant lesions.
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.
