Photogen microscope software defines tissue

Photogen Technologies is hoping to sell medical imaging companies on the idea of using signal processing software that can be plugged into a two-photon microscope for diagnostic imaging.
The Knoxville, TN-based firm develops new uses for laser technology to destroy diseased cells, remove tissue, or identify diseases. Photogens signal processing software creates three-dimensional images of living cells using a two-photon microscope, said Photogen senior scientist Walt Fisher.
Two-photon imaging is an advanced, noninvasive laser method that uses light energy to obtain 3-D images. Biomedical research firms use two-photon imaging to study diabetes, neurological disease, and cancer.
The signal processing software, when used in microscopes, can detect lesions, melanoma, and acintic keratosis, said Photogen scientist Eric Wachter.
Weve been able to demonstrate the ability to image through a centimeter (of tissue) using a thawed chicken breast. Human skin may be easier to peer through. If we can image through (the chicken breast), we should be able to image through human skin, Wachter said.
The company will pursue licensing agreements with manufacturers of two-photon and multiphoton microscopy and medical imaging technology, said Timothy Scott, Photogens interim CEO and president.
One potential candidate is Zeiss, the Swiss optics firm that supplies products to medical imaging companies, according to Wachter.
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.
