Nervonix, a medical R&D company headquartered in Bozeman, MT, is cultivating technology that generates noninvasive 2D images of peripheral nerves. The images might ultimately be used to identify the location of nerves, providing the basis for pain diagnosis and management by anesthesiologists, surgeons, and other clinicians, according to the company. A portable device is being designed to deliver real-time, high-resolution nerve images from a patient's bedside or the operating table. Nervonix is collaborating with Battelle Memorial Institute to develop the technology into a viable product, which could be commercially available as early as mid-2004, according to Nervonix. The company is now looking for commercial partners, OEMs, and distributors to assist in its development and marketing efforts.

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.
