Hansen showcases new catheter
Hansen Medical is showcasing its new Lynx Robotic Ablation Catheter this week at Venice Arrhythmias 2009, an International Workshop on Cardiac Arrhythmias in Venice, Italy. Pending CE Mark approval, the Lynx catheter is expected to be available in the European Union within the first half of 2010.The small, flexible irrigated ablation catheter is designed for use during the treatment of electrophysiology disorders including atrial fibrillation. The company is also showing its Sensei X Robotic Catheter System and the Artisan Extend Control Catheter, both of which were formally introduced Sept. 15. The new Lynx robotic ablation catheter, which is supported by the Sensei X platform, leverages the navigation capability of the Artisan Extend catheter, but in a smaller and more flexible profile. Offering a seven French irrigated ablation tip with a standard sized sheath, the new Lynx catheter has six degrees of freedom. This flexibility facilitates placement in difficult to reach anatomic locations.
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.
