Food and Drug Administration clearance is imminent for several advanced gamma camera options developed by Hitachi Medical Systems America. The Twinsburg, OH, vendor has already received 510(k) clearance for a 5/8-inch crystal option, and is awaiting the agencys word on nonuniform attenuation correction and coincidence detection options, according to Gary Enos, general manager of the unit.
The upgrades are Hitachis final touches that will make its premium SpectraDigital V250DSP camera a full-featured system capable of high-energy imaging. Hitachi will highlight the options at next months Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in Los Angeles.
Hitachi will also have its hands full explaining the nuclear medicine units direction in light of the companys new relationship with ADAC Laboratories of Milpitas, CA. Earlier this month, Hitachi announced that it would halt development of new gamma cameras in favor of distributing ADAC systems in Japan (SCAN 5/12/99). Hitachi is reviewing its nuclear business in light of the ADAC relationship, Enos said.
Can CT-Based Deep Learning Bolster Prognostic Assessments of Ground-Glass Nodules?
June 19th 2025Emerging research shows that a multiple time-series deep learning model assessment of CT images provides 20 percent higher sensitivity than a delta radiomic model and 56 percent higher sensitivity than a clinical model for prognostic evaluation of ground-glass nodules.
