Spencer Technologies of Seattle has filed a 510(k) with the FDA to market a new transcranial Doppler device: a noninvasive combination of hardware and software that helps clinicians image and track blood flow with ultrasound.
The company is developing five proprietary Doppler ultrasound products addressing the detection, prevention, and treatment of conditions leading to stroke, pulmonary embolism, deafness, and cranial hemorrhage. The transcranial Doppler technology is designed to help diagnose conditions that may lead to stroke, according to the firm.
Spencer Technologies president and CEO Scott Seidel said customers will replace older analog ultrasound technology with this product.
Some ultrasound systems use harmonic imaging to visualize blood activity. The difference between transcranial Doppler and harmonic imaging is that the former images blood flow, while the latter visualizes the outline of blood vessels, Seidel 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.
