NASI, Theseus announce technical milestone
North American Scientific and Theseus Imaging reported that clinical trials of Theseus’ Apomate kit have shown the agent to be effective in the noninvasive imaging of apoptosis, or cell death, associated with cardiac transplant rejection. The kit
North American Scientific and Theseus Imaging reported that clinical trials of Theseus Apomate kit have shown the agent to be effective in the noninvasive imaging of apoptosis, or cell death, associated with cardiac transplant rejection. The kit has been used in nuclear medicine procedures in more than 3500 hospitals across the U.S.
Patients who undergo heart transplants can have up to 15 catheterization procedures during the first year after the surgery to evaluate the immunosuppression medications effectiveness, according to the two companies. Theseus hopes Apomate will contribute equivalent information noninvasively by imaging the functional changes that occur when the body rejects an organ.
North American and Theseus signed a merger agreement in October, which is subject to final due diligence, according to Chatsworth, CA-based NASI. Theseus develops radiopharmaceutical products for in vivo medical imaging.
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.
