Pleasanton, CA-based Sanarus Medical may soon bring to market an ultrasound-guided biopsy tool called Centrica. The product, described as a rotational core biopsy system, uses a new approach to breast tissue sampling that the company considers more cost-effective and less invasive than open, surgical biopsy options. The procedure creates a 3 to 4-mm incision in the breast and requires no general anesthesia or stitches. Under ultrasound visualization, a small needle is placed directly into the tissue. Once placement is confirmed via ultrasound, the immobilized lesion is “stick frozen” for a few seconds, which secures the targeted tissue and enables a large tissue sample to be removed for evaluation. Centrica, which has been cleared by the FDA, is the first in a series of ultrasound-guided technologies being developed by Sanarus.
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.
