Bone densitometry vendor Norland Medical Systems and its partner, U.K.-based McCue, have received premarket approval clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for CubaClinical, an ultrasound bone measurement system. CubaClinical is a dry system and carries a large clinical database, according to Norland executives.
After terminating a two-year alliance with Canadian firm IMRO, White Plains, NY-based Norland signed an exclusive distribution and service agreement in June 1999 with McCue, which developed CubaClinical (SCAN 8/4/99). Norland distributes McCue systems in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Pacific Rim. CubaClinical lists at approximately $20,000.
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.
