Introduction to Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction A highly delicate technique for the amplification and identification of deoxyribonucleic acid is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In molecular biology, its conceptual simplification has made it the most utilized method and can, in theory, identify as little as a single segment of DNA. Therefore, for a huge variety of bacterial, fungal, viral, ...
The challenge An industry-leading medical device company required the capability to automatically generate an accurate 3D model of complex patient-specific anatomies The anatomical model was needed for planning challenging surgical navigation procedures The pre-existing solution was slow and not robust, requiring extensive and time-consuming manual editing by the interventionist Our ...
The use of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is often viewed as incompatible with current standard radiology workflows. Some radiologists or departments may be unaware of its existence or purpose. Despite the skepticism surrounding its viability in a clinical setting, QSM shows great potential in a wide range of clinical applications, particularly for biomarker detection and ...
The start of coronavirus pandemic pushed limits of healthcare systems all over the world by causing thousands of deaths and the requirement of a huge quantity of healthcare resources. When WHO declared COVID19 as a pandemic, the whole world came to standstill. Half of the world population is confined to their home except for essential services. In the year 2016, when GOI announced ...
It is particularly of use for lesions that present with large subchondral cysts in computed tomography scans (Fig 1 A-C) and degeneration of the overlying cartilage in MRI (Fig 2 A-C). ...
The clash of the titans are in full effect. We are not smart enough to understand all the dynamics of patented software and hardware. While we let the manufacturers sort it out, we wanted to demonstrate how the new mandibular jaw movements are captured in ...

Patient History 83 year old male with no history of esophageal disease. The patient was referred to Dr. Singh after a possible esophageal mass was noted as an incidental finding during a CT scan for an unrelated ...
Being the first bladder scanner in the world which can measure BWT bladder wall thickness, M5 makes it possible that BWT can be monitored easily and quickly on daily basis. This feature fosters research on coorelation between BWT and different urological diseases. During the interview with Dr. Xu Kexin from Peking University People's Hospital whose team has been using M5 for about one year, we ...
InfraScan, a medical device firm specializing in traumatic brain injury diagnostic products, announced the publication of the largest U.S. study to date using a near-infrared device (NIRD) to detect bleeds resulting from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). This independent study was published in the Journal of Neurotrauma on 2 Aug 2022. https://doi.org/10.1089/neu.2021.0342. “We wish to thank ...
Micromate™ Case Report series presents real cases performed by the physicians currently using our full-fledged robotic platform for percutaneous procedures. Today, we join Dr. Alexander Kupferthaler, Interventional Radiologist at the Ordensklinikum Linz – Barmherzige Schwestern, for a robot-guided bone biopsy. Clinical Context 65-year-old female with invasive lobular carcinoma of ...
Why is there a shortage of CT contrast? The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be the root cause of disruptions in the global supply chain. This time, it led to the temporary shutdown of a production facility in Shanghai, creating a severe shortage of iodinated contrast media (ICM) and affecting imaging facilities – especially in the US, with the American Hospital Association expressing its ...
The next generation of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents will herald an age when PET will eclipse single photon emission computed tomog- raphy (SPECT) as the “go to” modality for molecular imaging. It will do so by enabling personalized medicine through precision diagnostics, the ability to be delivered cost-effectively in a manner with less radiation to patients, by ...
What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis? Lumbar spinal stenosis, or LSS, is a common condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves in the lower back. Lumbar spinal stenosis is generally caused by aging and natural wear and tear on the spine. With lumbar spinal stenosis, thickened ligament, overgrowth of bone, and/or bulging discs in the lower back put pressure on the ...
Interventional Systems announced the newest addition to Micromate™’s product suite: a planning and navigation station that will make the needle-based intervention miniature robot available for use with CT scanners. The new addition to Micromate™ makes it possible for physicians to rely on pre- and intraoperative scans to plan the intervention. These planning capabilities can ...
CAD PRO® Advantage Digitizer Provides Mammography Workflow Solution for Innovative Radiology Practice. For more than 50 years, Diagnostic Radiology Consultants (DRC) has pioneered imaging services in the tri-state area of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. The innovative group, including 11 radiologists at 12 sites, often is the first to offer emerging technologies that positively impact ...
Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI) quantifies and visualizes the distribution of blood vessels in the lungs in great detail. This simple model, which combines the results of the imaging with the patient’s age, can accurately predict the risk of dying and the necessity for ventilation. Clinical research conducted has revealed that inflammation of the endothelium and microangiopathy occur ...

It appears that high-contact sports such as hockey and football are becoming much more violent. Although both sports have made efforts to remove unnecessary hits from the game, concussions are inevitable when athletes are as strong and fast as they are today. The only reasonable solution is to improve the safety equipment the players use in hopes of protecting them from a traumatic brain ...
To confidently perform a spinal fusion and screw fixation with excellence surgical navigation is consistently used as a powerful tool. Surgical Navigation provides real-time guidance and precise measurements for accurately placing the pedicle screws to help stabilize the spine. A preoperative CT scan gives a detailed visualization of the structure decreasing the potential for implant-related ...
