The market for bone densitometry has retreated from its heyday of a few years back, but sales have been strong enough to propel GE Medical Systems’ Lunar to a new milestone. The company has shipped 1000 units of its bone densitometer, Prodigy. The product was introduced in late 1998. Primary customers have been radiologists, orthopedists, and endocrinologists, as well as primary-care physicians and ob/gyns. Most of those units were sold when Lunar operated as an independent, publicly traded company. Lunar was acquired by GE in late 2000.
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.
