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.
FDA Approves Fluorescence Imaging System for Detecting Residual Breast Cancer
April 18th 2024The combination of the optical imaging agent Lumisight and the fluorescence imaging device Lumicell Direct Visualization System, collectively known as LumiSystem, reportedly offers 84 percent accuracy with real-time detection of residual breast cancer after lumpectomy procedures.
Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
