Compact magnets highlight GE offerings
New short-bore magnets will be added to the MRI product lineup of this Milwaukee-based imaging giant (Hall A, #2145). GE has added short-bore configurations at 1-tesla and 1.5-tesla field strengths to its Signa Horizon LX series: The appellation CX 100
New short-bore magnets will be added to the MRI product lineup of this Milwaukee-based imaging giant (Hall A, #2145). GE has added short-bore configurations at 1-tesla and 1.5-tesla field strengths to its Signa Horizon LX series: The appellation CX 100 denotes the 1-tesla short-bore system, while CX 150 is the 1.5-tesla magnet.
Visitors to the company's booth can also expect more physical space devoted to its MRI exhibit, with the company highlighting mobile versions of its 0.2-tesla Profile and 1.5-tesla Signa Horizon LX scanners for the first time. An investigational version of the whole-body Horizon LX, optimized for cardiac and neurological applications, will also be featured.
In nuclear medicine, GE has made some changes since last year's RNSA show. The company has formed a joint venture with Elscint, called ELGEMS, to take over development of gamma cameras and related products that each company formerly handled alone.
In ultrasound, look for GE to highlight the latest upgrade to its flagship Logiq 700 MR scanner. GE in May introduced the Voxel Image Processor upgrade to the system, which enables the scanner to operate with 1024 transmit channels and 2048 receive channels.
One of the most exciting new technologies to hit medical imaging in recent years is the development of flat-panel digital x-ray detectors, and GE made a major splash in August with the announcement of its joint venture arrangement with EG&G Amorphous Silicon of Santa Clara, CA (SCAN 9/3/97).
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.
