SonoSite posts $10 million in sales for 1999

Portable ultrasound vendor SonoSite topped the $10 million mark in revenues in its first year since being spun off by ATL. Not surprisingly, the bulk of those revenues came in the fourth quarter (end-December), following launch of the Bothell, WA-based companys first two commercial product platforms, the SonoSite 180 hand-held ultrasound system and the SonoHeart hand-held echocardiography system (SCAN 9/29/99 and 1/12/00). SonoSite began shipping SonoHeart this month.
Despite revenues of $9.4 million for the fourth quarter and $10.1 million for the year, SonoSite still reported hefty losses at years end: Losses for the year were $21.6 million, compared to $13 million for 1998. This was due in part to increases in operating expenses related to product and personnel ramp-up in support of the companys new product lines. Fourth-quarter losses reflect the companys new revenue streams, however; losses for the quarter were $3.2 million, compared to losses of $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 1998.
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.
