This spin-off of Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center isn't exhibitingat the RSNA meeting, but its x-ray digitization technology couldhave a major impact on vendors who are. DpiX announced last monththat it plans to begin shipments in January of evaluation kitsof its amorphous silicon image sensors to medical imaging OEMswho are interested in incorporating the sensors into x-ray imagingdevices.
DpiX debuted in March with the mission of commercializing thin-filmtransistor-array technology developed at Xerox PARC (SCAN 3/13/96).The technology can be used for either digitizing x-rays or forbuilding monitors to view images.
Called FlashScan 20, dpiX intends to sell the sensors as componentsto OEMs rather than build its own integrated x-ray devices, accordingto Jean-Pierre Georges, general manager of dpiX's image sensorproducts group. The evaluation kit sensors consist of an 8 x 10-incharray that captures x-ray images, along with necessary electronicsto provide an output to a personal computer.
The evaluation kits are designed to let medical imaging vendorsdetermine how they can integrate the sensors into their x-raysystems, Georges said. DpiX will then work with interested OEMsto develop larger sensors for medical imaging applications. Atpresent, FlashScan 20 features a 127-micron pixel size and a resolutionof 4 line pairs/mm.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
