GE recruits new allies
GE Medical Systems has signed licensing agreements with the Texas A&M University system and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to develop new near-infrared-light imaging technologies. Efforts will focus on assessing the potential of these technologies
GE Medical Systems has signed licensing agreements with the Texas A&M University system and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to develop new near-infrared-light imaging technologies. Efforts will focus on assessing the potential of these technologies to improve the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancers. The licensing agreements call for GE to work with the research institutions to advance technologies there for eventual FDA approval.
The A&M system technology, fluorescence-enhanced optical imaging and tomography, combines imaging sensitivity, tissue penetration, and tissue characterization as the means to detect and track disease progression. It also might be used in the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The Beth Israel Deaconess technology is an intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging system that enables surgeons to visualize surgical anatomy and functional fluorescence simultaneously, noninvasively, and with high spatial resolution. Potential applications include image-guided sentinel lymph node mapping, image-guided cancer resection with real-time assessment of surgical margins, mapping of tumor and normal vasculature, image-guided avoidance of critical structures such as nerves, and detection of occult metastases.
Can AI Enhance CT Detection of Incidental Extrapulmonary Abnormalities and Prediction of Mortality?
September 18th 2024Emphasizing multi-structure segmentation and feature extraction from chest CT scans, an emerging AI model demonstrated an approximately 70 percent AUC for predicting significant incidental extrapulmonary findings as well as two-year and 10-year all-cause mortality.
Comparing Digital Breast Tomosynthesis to Digital Mammography: What a Long-Term Study Reveals
September 17th 2024In a study involving over 272,000 breast cancer screening exams, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) had a higher breast cancer detection rate and a lower rate of advanced cancer presentation at the time of diagnosis in comparison to digital mammography.
Can Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of Intracranial Aneurysms on Computed Tomography Angiography?
September 17th 2024Radiomics models offered a pooled AUC of 86 percent for differentiating between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, according to a recently published meta-analysis.
