Indianoloa, PA-based Medrad has signed an exclusive two-year agreement to distribute worldwide a cardiovascular MR surface coil developed by W.L. Gore & Associates. The coil combines in a single device a dedicated cardiac coil and a dedicated abdominal coil. Extending from the chest to the bifurcation of the aorta in the pelvic region, the Cardiovascular Array supports the visualization of vascular disease throughout the entire torso in a single scan. The FDA cleared the product, which is compatible with all phased-array versions of the GE Signa 1.5T system and will be available in the U.S. in July. Worldwide distribution will begin next year. Medrad currently distributes another Gore product, the Torso Array surface coil, which was released in November 2000.

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.
