Start-up builds PET/CT centers
A new company, Morningstar Molecular Imaging, is hatching plans to launch a chain of PET/CT imaging centers across the U.S. The Sarasota, FL, firm will open its first centers in Georgia, Colorado, and Florida later this year. It plans to expand to other
A new company, Morningstar Molecular Imaging, is hatching plans to launch a chain of PET/CT imaging centers across the U.S. The Sarasota, FL, firm will open its first centers in Georgia, Colorado, and Florida later this year. It plans to expand to other states over the next 12 months. The centers will conduct business under the Morningstar Molecular Imaging name and will be jointly owned by Morningstar, local investors, and physicians where appropriate. The business model is based on three strategies: to cluster multiple imaging centers in metropolitan areas so as to establish economies of scale and local branding; provide only PET/CT through the highest performance, LSO-based scanning systems; and tie all its centers together with an IT system that supports referring physician and patient services. Key to the success of this model is a "speed-to-market" approach to ensure that the fledgling company provides service to patients in as many metro areas as soon as possible, according to Ken Manning, vice president of marketing for Morningstar.
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.
