ATL has released a new versionof its power mode color Doppler technology for imaging blood flowin small vessels. ATL increased the performance of the technologyand renamed it Color Power Angio Imaging, the Bothell, WA, companysaid last month.
Color Power Angio Imaging supersedes Doppler Power Imagingas the marketing term for the company's power mode Doppler technology.The technique displays the amplitude of blood flow rather thanthe velocity, giving physicians a better look at weak blood flowin small vessels.
Most major ultrasound vendors have adopted different versionsof Doppler blood-vessel roadmapping and the technology has beenwell received by clinicians. Few clinical papers on the technologyhave been published, due to its novelty, however. That could changewith this year's Radiological Society of North America meeting,according to ATL president David Perozek.
"At the RSNA conference there will be a number of clinicalpapers presented, indicating and evaluating the clinical utilityof the Color Power Angio mode," Perozek said.
Also last month, ATL released a new intraoperative scanheadfor vascular surgery applications. The Entos CL10-5 transducercan help vascular surgeons identify anatomic defects that mayresult from surgery, enabling them to take corrective action whilestill in the operating room, according to the company.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
