Bone densitometry manufacturer Norland Medical Systems turned in financial results for the first quarter (end-March) that showed none of the problems that have been dogging other bone-mass measurement companies in recent weeks. For the period, Norland had sales of $4.8 million, up 134% compared with $2.1 million in the first quarter of 1998. The firms net loss shrank to $615,000, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million in the same period the year before. Norland executives said the companys numbers should improve even further as it begins recognizing revenue from its new Excell dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry axial scanner, which began shipping in March.

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.
