Perception Ultrasound of Miami has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for its Perception 5000 PC-based ultrasound scanner, which is based on Windows NT and uses software rather than hardware to control system parameters. The system will be targeted at ob/gyn, vascular, urology, family practice, and emergency room applications. It will carry an average selling price of $40,000 and will be sold in the U.S. through direct sales and dealers.
Perception 5000 is the first Perception scanner to receive 510(k) clearance. Other systems include the Perception 2500, a portable scanner for which 510(k) clearance is pending, and Bak-Pac, a portable battery-powered system under development that will be sold to the military.
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.
