VirtualScopics closes $3.8M financing
GE Medical Systems and affiliates of venture capitalist Trillium Group are the primary contributors of some $3.8 million invested in VirtualScopics as part of that company's Series C round of financing. The Pittsford, NY, provider is developing a suite
GE Medical Systems and affiliates of venture capitalist Trillium Group are the primary contributors of some $3.8 million invested in VirtualScopics as part of that company's Series C round of financing. The Pittsford, NY, provider is developing a suite of image analysis tools that detect and help characterize tiny changes in physical structures over time. The firm's image-based biomarker solutions are designed to accelerate the pharmaceutical R&D process by rapidly measuring the efficacy and safety of drug compounds. The technology might also be leveraged to improve treatment planning and diagnosis for patients. GE plans to collaborate with VirtualScopics to advance the application of its imaging technology in clinical trials. The firm's proprietary software algorithms can assemble hundreds of separate medical images taken during an MRI session into a single 3D model.
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.
