Olicon slashes sales force for OEM focus
PACS and teleradiology vendor Olicon Imaging Systems has apparently cut its direct sales force to focus on its OEM relationship with healthcare information systems firm Shared Medical Systems. Olicon executives declined to return calls seeking comment,
PACS and teleradiology vendor Olicon Imaging Systems has apparently cut its direct sales force to focus on its OEM relationship with healthcare information systems firm Shared Medical Systems. Olicon executives declined to return calls seeking comment, but a source close to the situation confirmed the reduction in Olicons direct sales force and change in the Aliso Viejo, CA-based companys direction.
The two firms signed an agreement in August that would allow SMS to offer Olicons diagnostic workstations and PACSView teleradiology offerings to its customers. That deal built on a relationship in evidence at the 1997 Radiological Society of North America meeting, where Olicon workstations were displayed in the booth of Malvern, PA-based SMS (SCAN Special Report 12/97). Olicon will be keeping its booth at this years RSNA meeting, according to a RSNA source.
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.
