Minneapolis-based Medtronic is spending $31 million to expand its European headquarters and production facilities in the Swiss state of Vaud. Medtronic supplies equipment for treating cardiac, vascular, neurologic, and spinal conditions.
The project brings Medtronics total investment in its Swiss facilities to $67 million. The expansion will add 200 new jobs, double Medtronics production capacity, provide a training center, and add room for administrative personnel, said Barry Wilson, Medtronics president of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
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.
