The increasing speed of MRI and CT systems and their expanding vascular indications have made precision and reproducibility paramount considerations in contrast-enhanced studies. In mid-January, Nycomed Amersham locked in access to this technology, acquiring a sophisticated power injector system from Swiss-based manufacturer Bruker. Called Tomoject, this pump injector provides the constant and reliable flow of contrast media necessary for ultrafast imaging, including contrast-enhanced angiography, tumor diagnostics, organ perfusion, and incremental body imaging. Tomoject is currently marketed in Europe and other international venues. The manufacturing site will remain Zurich.

Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
