In a bid to expand its market share in the radiotherapy market, Hitachi has acquired 80% of AccSys Technology, a developer of ion linear accelerator (linac) technology. The acquisition allows Hitachi to increase its presence in the emerging market for proton-beam therapy, a localized form of radiation therapy in which a proton beam is directed at a tumor deep in the body. Proton beams appear to cause fewer side effects compared with conventional electron-beam and x-ray therapy. Hitachi developed its own proton-beam therapy system, called Probeat, which includes a linac injector supplied by AccSys.
Can Portable Dual-Energy X-Ray be a Viable Alternative to CT in the ICU?
September 13th 2024The use of a portable dual-energy X-ray detector in the ICU at one community hospital reportedly facilitated a 37.5 percent decrease in chest CT exams in comparison to the previous three months, according to research presented at the American Society of Emergency Radiology (ASER) meeting in Washington, D.C.
New Meta-Analysis Examines MRI Assessment for Treatment of Esophageal Cancer
September 12th 2024Diffusion-weighted MRI provided pooled sensitivity and specificity rates of 82 percent and 81 percent respectively for gauging patient response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer, according to new meta-analysis.
Study for Emerging PET/CT Agent Reveals ‘New Standard’ for Detecting Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
September 11th 2024Results from a multicenter phase 3 trial showed that the PET/CT imaging agent (89Zr)Zr-girentuximab had an 85.5 percent mean sensitivity rate for the diagnosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Can Radiomics and Autoencoders Enhance Real-Time Ultrasound Detection of Breast Cancer?
September 10th 2024Developed with breast ultrasound data from nearly 1,200 women, a model with mixed radiomic and autoencoder features had a 90 percent AUC for diagnosing breast cancer, according to new research.
