NIST grant to fund wireless implant research
The National Institute of Standards and Technologys Advanced Technology Program has awarded $1.98 million to Integrated Sensing Systems (ISSYS) to develop wireless, batteryless microfabricated pressure sensors. ISSYS is working on sensors that can provide continuous monitoring of biologic fluid pressures while implanted in the body. Initially, the sensors will be used for hydrocephalus and glaucoma.
The Ypsilanti, MI-based firm produces a pressure sensor the size of a grain of rice, and it intends to extend that products capabilities to a single, self-contained unit that will be powered and read by an external radio-frequency transceiver. The handheld transceiver will be able to detect sensor readings from up to six inches away. The University of Michigans Kellogg Eye Center and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation have agreed to test the products. ISSYS estimates that the devices can save more than $1.5 billion annually in medical testing and treatment.

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.
