Siemens shifts ultrasound product
Siemens decided this month to consolidate manufacturing of ultrasoundscanners into its Quantum Medical Systems subsidiary in Issaquah,WA. Production of the Siemens SI 1200 cardiac scanner will bemoved from San Ramon, CA, and combined with manufacturing
Siemens decided this month to consolidate manufacturing of ultrasoundscanners into its Quantum Medical Systems subsidiary in Issaquah,WA. Production of the Siemens SI 1200 cardiac scanner will bemoved from San Ramon, CA, and combined with manufacturing of theQuantum 2000 radiology system, said David Croniser, vice presidentof marketing for Quantum.
Siemens began to consolidate sales and marketing of the twoultrasound groups in June (SCAN 6/5/91). That process is stillunder way, Croniser told SCAN. The Quantum and Siemens names willbe maintained for the two ultrasound lines, he said.
An R&D and engineering facility will remain in San Ramon,along with supporting administrative and marketing staff, Cronisersaid.
Consolidation of manufacturing will enable Siemens to reapcost benefits from its acquisition of Quantum last year (SCAN4/11/90).
"It helps us achieve economies of scale in the businessand will provide some technology advantages in how we move thetwo products forward," he said.
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.
