Ultrasound peripherals developer EchoCath has received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for EchoFlow, a blood-velocity measurement device that uses ultrasound to evaluate and quantify blood flow (SCAN 2/19/97). EchoFlows applications include assessing the condition of blood vessels during and after surgery, determining proper placement of bypass grafts, and monitoring blood flow for implantable devices such as pacemakers, according to the Princeton, NJ-based firm. EchoCath will initially market EchoFlow to vascular surgeons for measuring blood-flow velocities but is also seeking corporate alliances for applications outside vascular surgery.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
Can Ultrasound-Based Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of HER2 Breast Cancer?
March 11th 2025Multicenter research revealed that a combined model of clinical factors and ultrasound-based radiomics exhibited greater than a 23 percent higher per patient-level accuracy rate for identifying HER2 breast cancer than a clinical model.
