Intravascular ultrasound developer Endosonics broke ground thisweek on a new manufacturing facility in Rancho Cordova, CA. ThePleasanton, CA, vendor said that strong demand for its productsnecessitated the construction of the 44,000-square-foot facility,which will manufacture the company's Oracle and Five-64 catheters.Endosonics will continue to produce its current line of cathetersin Pleasanton.
In other news, Endosonics reported last month that its CardioVascularDynamics (CVD) subsidiary has signed an agreement with the vascularintervention group of Guidant to develop new perfusion angioplastycatheters. Guidant last year received an option for CVD's mechanicalangioplasty catheter (MAC) technology, and last month's agreementexercises that option.
As part of the deal, Guidant granted CVD exclusive rights tomarket Guidant's SmartNeedle products, which use Doppler ultrasound-guidedneedle technology to locate and access arteries and veins in patients.
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.
