Shimadzu will distribute Marconi Medical Systems multislice CT products in Japan, while continuing to market its own CT product line. The two companies also signed a two-year extension of their agreement that has Shimadzu distributing Marconis nuclear medicine systems in Japan.
Although Shimadzu will market and distribute the products, they will be labeled with the Marconi name.
The relationship began 10 years ago when Marconi was known as Picker International. Last year, Shimadzu added Marconi MR systems to its own product line, which includes x-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound systems.
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.
