OSI Systems of Hawthorne, CA, reported last month that it has purchased Danish bone densitometry manufacturer Osteometer MediTech for $7.7 million. Osteometer MediTech offers DTX-200, a forearm dual-energy x-ray (DEXA) densitometer that has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. The company also markets an ultrasound bone densitometer, DTU-1, in Europe. Osteometer MediTech applied for premarket approval (PMA) for the device in spring 1998. OSI hopes the deal will give it access to the medical subsystem market, according to executives at the optoelectronic devices company.
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.
