To help advance medical research while preserving data privacy and improving patient outcomes for brain tumor identification, NVIDIA researchers in collaboration with King’s College London researchers recently announced the introduction of the first privacy-preserving federated learning system for medical image analysis. NVIDIA is working with King’s College London and French startup Owkin to enable federated learning for the newly established London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Value Based Healthcare.
Advanced X-ray imaging systems developer Turner Imaging Systems announced the company has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its Smart-C mini C-arm portable fluoroscopy and X-ray imaging device. Focused on mobility and portability, the patent-pending Smart-C weighs only 16 pounds so that it can be hand-carried to the point of care, with no need for special equipment to wheel the device around.
At the 2019 American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) annual meeting, Sept. 15-18 in Chicago, Advanced Radiation Therapy, makers of AccuBoost, announced the latest upgrades to the AccuBoost Digital platform. AccuBoost Digital leverages the Planmed Clarity digital mammography system to provide doctors with real-time image-guidance and targeting confidence in the delivery of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) in patients opting for breast conserving therapy (BCT). These upgrades improve the treatment workflow, patient experience and user interface. By design, this non-invasive breast brachytherapy (NIBB) technique is 100 percent adaptive as each treatment fraction is assessed independently and is ideal for the challenges that APBI treatments can present.
