Ultrasound developer Esaote, based in Genoa, Italy, introduced a new premium ultrasound device at the RSNA show. Technos is designed for abdominal, ob/gyn, vascular, small parts, breast, and urology imaging, and completes Esaotes radiology and shared service markets product line. The unit carries a fully digital beamformer and proprietary microchip circuitry, as well as new probe technology that maximizes the lateral resolution of Technos wideband multifrequency transducers. Technos combines color Doppler and power Doppler technology, and runs on a Windows NT operating system.
In other Esaote news, the company celebrated the sale of its 500th dedicated MRI system, which it has achieved through sales of both Artoscan and E-Scan, an open-style, 0.2-tesla MRI scanner dedicated to orthopedic studies. E-Scan was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in June (SCAN 6/23/99).

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.
