Canon's digital radiography CXDI-31 flat-panel sensor has passed FDA review, the company announced Jan. 22. The sensor will allow hospital technologists to image patients on stretchers, gurneys, and patient tables, capturing an image from virtually any angle. The amorphous silicon detector lists for $85,000. Clinical testing of the sensor, which weighs just 6.2 pounds and measures less than an inch thick, was completed at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation clinical radiology and neonatal ICU departments. CXDI-31 is the latest addition to the company's DR products, whose first member, the CXDI-11 digital radiography system (upright), was launched in 1998. The CXDI-22 (digital bucky) joined the family in 2000. These Canon-developed systems are used in more than 350 locations worldwide.

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.
