Ultrafast CT developer Imatron of South San Francisco, CA, saidthat it plans to open HeartScan imaging centers in Europe in cooperationwith major medical centers.
Imatron launched the HeartScan program in the U.S. in 1994to provide coronary artery disease scanning using Imatron's UltrafastCT scanners. Imatron often markets the services of the clinicsdirectly to the public.
Imatron will adopt a similar strategy in Europe. The companyis in discussions with medical centers in Monte Carlo and Switzerlandas well as in Germany, where a syndicate is interested in openingthree HeartScan centers.

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.
