Medical Imaging Solutions International (MISI) has been awarded a group purchasing agreement with Premier for contrast media injector syringes and disposables.

The deal takes effect January 1 and allows Premier members to take advantage of special pricing and prenegotiated terms for MISI's injector syringes and fluid delivery sets, as well as certified preowned injector systems and preventive maintenance injector services, according to the firm.

Group mean C-11 PBR28 SUVR maps of females with ASD (top) and female controls (middle). Statistical map from voxelwise comparison of C-11 PBR28 SUVR between groups, controlled for age and TSPO genotype, shows elevated regional TSPO levels relative to whole brain mean in the midcingulate cortex and splenium of the corpus callosum in ASD (N = 12) compared with controls (N = 10) (Z > 2.3, pcluster) (bottom). TSPO = translocator protein, ASD = autism spectrum disorder, CON = control, SUVR = standardized uptake value ratio, N = number. Image and caption courtesy of Neuropsychopharmacology.

Test set images with ground truth (teal, red) and model predictions (green, yellow), with true positives (green), false positives (yellow), and false negatives (red). Predictions from the 6x-YOLOv5 ensemble trained on histogram equalized input images with a y = 0.2 avalanche scheme, achieving 0.536 precision, 0.795 recall, and 0.723 F2 score.

FAPI-PET shows promise in patients with lung cancer

FAPI-PET imaging could emerge as a new tool for assessing patients with single pulmonary tumors, especially in those with negative results on other scans.

F-18 FDG and Ga-68 FAPI-46 images of a 51-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth pattern in right upper lobe. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images. The lesion had F-18 FDG uptake below blood pool level but was strongly Ga-68 FAPI-46-positive. CT-guided biopsy led to pathologic diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, and the patient was treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy because of functional inoperability.

Predictions and Grad-CAMs of ViT-based models on sample PET/CT, PET, and CT test images from the “positive” class. ViT was fine-tuned using training data for each modality. The bounding boxes depicted in the figure indicate malignant lesions. The top row of the Grad-CAMs shows important areas for “positive” predictions, and the bottom row shows areas for “negative” predictions. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
