Ultrasound peripherals developer EchoCath has received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for EchoFlow, a blood-velocity measurement device that uses ultrasound to evaluate and quantify blood flow (SCAN 2/19/97). EchoFlows applications include assessing the condition of blood vessels during and after surgery, determining proper placement of bypass grafts, and monitoring blood flow for implantable devices such as pacemakers, according to the Princeton, NJ-based firm. EchoCath will initially market EchoFlow to vascular surgeons for measuring blood-flow velocities but is also seeking corporate alliances for applications outside vascular surgery.
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.
