As imaging service firms U.S. Diagnostic (USDL) and Medical Resources get their corporate houses in order, other companies are arriving on the scene to acquire imaging centers. One such firm is San Diego-based Medical Device Technologies, which has acquired Vision Diagnostics and affiliated MRI centers. The deal gives MDT imaging centers in Orlando, FL, Jacksonville, FL, Oak Brook, IL, and Toledo, OH. MDT executives estimate that the centers will produce roughly $5 million in revenues for 1998. MDT's goal is to identify imaging centers aggressively and acquire additional ones, according to chairman and CEO Lee Hulsebus.

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.
