GE Medical Systems has signed a broad collaborative research agreement with GlaxoSmithKline to bring clinical molecular imaging technologies into the pharmaceutical development process. Their first project will be to advance the diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). GE is aggressively pursuing noninvasive molecular imaging to detect and monitor disease with specific molecular markers. GlaxoSmithKline has expertise in respiratory science, molecular medicine, and drug development for diseases including COPD. Early research will be done at GE’s Corporate Research and Development site in Schenectady, NY, in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline’s COPD Clinical Network. Together, the companies hope to develop new medicines and better means for diagnosing and treating COPD.
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.
