As part of an effort to accelerate the clinical use of 3-D ultrasound, GE Medical Systems has acquired EchoTech 3D Imaging Systems. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. EchoTech has developed several 3-D ultrasound imaging technologies, including PC-based products Easy3D and 3D Free Scan, which will serve as adjuncts to GE’s LOGIQ and ViVid ultrasound product lines. EchoTech will continue operations in Munich, Germany, serving as a Center of Excellence for GE’s 3-D imaging technology. Supply agreements between EchoTech and ultrasound manufacturers other than GE will continue.
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.
