Picker's ViewPoint cleared for spine use
Picker International of Cleveland has received 510(k) clearance for spinal applications of its second-generation ViewPoint image-guided surgery system, which enables surgeons to correlate patient anatomy with CT or MR images. ViewPoint can prove useful
Picker International of Cleveland has received 510(k) clearance for spinal applications of its second-generation ViewPoint image-guided surgery system, which enables surgeons to correlate patient anatomy with CT or MR images. ViewPoint can prove useful in complex spinal procedures such as fractures, neoplasms, and deformities, and the clearance is a major boost to the ViewPoint distribution agreement Picker signed earlier this year with spinal implant firm DePuy Motech of Warsaw, IN (SCAN 2/19/97). Picker received 510(k) clearance in January for intracranial applications of the second-generation ViewPoint, which uses optical sensors to register the position of probes relative to CT or MR images.
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.
