MediGuide, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, has allied with Boston Scientific to develop and commercialize technology platforms in the fields of 3D intravascular imaging and intrabody navigation. The agreement includes an equity investment in MediGuide by Boston Scientific, codevelopment responsibilities for integrating Boston Scientific's device platforms with MediGuide's proprietary guidance system, exclusive global distribution, and an option for Boston Scientific to acquire MediGuide at a future time.
The cornerstone of the alliance is an advanced navigation system developed by the Arlington, VA, company. The Medical Positioning System (MPS) enables real-time tracking of miniature sensors integrated into therapeutic and diagnostic medical devices. These devices register their exact location and orientation utilizing advanced diagnostic systems such as Boston Scientific's intravascular ultrasound system, as well as other diagnostic systems including x-ray angiography, MR, and CT. Boston Scientific and MediGuide plan to integrate the MPS with Boston Scientific's IVUS.
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.
