SonoSite handheld system will go into battle

The 19 member countries of NATO will purchase the SonoSite 180 handheld ultrasound system for diagnostic and imaging use on the battlefield.
SonoSite received Food and Drug Administration clearance for the 5-pound digital handheld ultrasound early last year. The British Armed Forces use the SonoSite 180, which can scan any area of the body for bullets or evidence of trauma.
NATO will purchase the devices for about $20,000 each, depending on how many scanheads are included in the unit, said Kelly Ford, director of marketing communications. Four years ago, Bothell, WA-based SonoSite entered into a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Project Agency to develop an ultrasound device for use on the battlefield. Studies are under way to explore the best use of this equipment to improve diagnosis and treatment in military trauma situations.
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.
