Three-dimensional ultrasound developer Life Imaging Systems continues to reach milestones in its relationship with B-K Medical of Copenhagen, Denmark. Life Imaging has developed a prototype that integrates Life's 3-D technology with B-K's ultrasound scanners and transducers. The resulting product allows one system to feature 2-D capabilities with 3-D reconstruction and visualization, according to Life Imaging, based in London, Ontario.
Life plans to deliver the first version of the system to B-K at the beginning of April. Under the terms of the October 1997 agreement signed between the two firms, B-K has worldwide rights to market the technology, which is targeted primarily at urology and surgical applications, according to Life.
With these kinds of collaborative relationships with ultrasound vendors, Life expects to experience substantial revenue growth. The company anticipates sales of $4.5 million (Canadian) in 1999.
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.
