This case study illustrates designing and fabricating silicone bolus using the Adaptiiv software solution. This flexible silicone bolus fabrication process was then compared to the fabrication process of a rigid 3D printed bolus to determine whether it yielded comparable or improved plan metrics for treating an inner canthus ...
Revisiting the “why” behind decision making can be a helpful exercise in all aspects of business. This is no less true for clinical operations executives when it comes to the clinical trial systems they employ to facilitate their teams’ work. The technology that supports clinical trial systems has evolved steadily over the past several decades, yet the ultimate goal of ...

Intellijoint Surgical is proud to announce a new, optional feature to the Intellijoint KNEE system. It helps provide quantitative measurements of femoral and tibial rotational alignment. Originally released back in 2020, Intellijoint KNEE is the second application following the company’s flagship product, Intellijoint HIP. The Intellijoint team has continued to innovate and expand ...
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 ...

Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. Although immunotherapy specialists devised ingenious ways to use the patients’ own immune system to better ...

Our Medical Director of the Oncology Breast Program, Dr. Beth DuPree, was first in the U.S. to adopt VeraForm, a continuous, radiopaque 3D tissue marker. Within months, its utility led to quick integration into our program’s standard daily practice. Like all centers today, patient satisfaction is a focal point and to date, we have seen no complications or toxicities by any criteria (e.g., ...
New results support the feasibility of an entirely extracardiac pacing method in a heterogeneous patient population, using a minimally invasive, parasternal delivery approach, with adequate sensing and thresholds suited for temporary pacing. The study, authored by Anne-Floor BE Quast, Niek EG Beurskens (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and colleagues, was recently published in ...
Abstract Background/objectives: Various adipose tissue compartments play an important role in the development of cardiometabolic diseases. The quantity of different fat compartments is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The aim of our study was to evaluate the magnitude of genetic and environmental effects on epicardial, subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (EAT, SAT and ...
What is an artist doing working in a cutting-edge science lab? That’s a question I hear almost every time I explain my summer internship at EpiBone. Fortunately, I feel my whole life has been preparing me to answer it. I have always sat firmly at the intersection between art and science. My best subjects in school were the visual arts and the natural sciences, a seemingly unlikely pair. ...
Landfills are usually located in unsaturated zones. Contaminant leaking can easily infiltrate groundwater through these porous media and contribute to groundwater pollution. The main objective of this work is to study the leachate migration in unsaturated porous media using X-ray computerized tomography (CT) and image-processing software. Silica sand and Yamazuna sand (collected from Japan) ...
A new development for the easy handling and in-hospital transport of both Baby Pod II and Scan Pod. We’re pleased to announce that development of this new accessory for the Baby Pod II and Scan Pod is progressing well and is on track for launch Q1 2014. The trolley features a locking mechanism for the securing of the Scan Pod during transit through the hospital to the MRI unit, and ...
We are now developing a system which allows the visualization of the structure and tissue associated with breast cancer, which is difficult to achieve with conventional mammography, by utilizing X-ray refraction. This system is expected to achieve an approximately 1000-fold higher contrast and high spatial resolution at low dose; compared to techniques by use of X-ray absorption. Monochromatic ...
