It combines the accuracy of MRI with the real-time monitoring of ultrasound to detect more clinically significant cancer, while preventing unnecessary biopsies. Unlike standard systematic biopsy, fusion can track lesions over time with imaging or repeat biopsy during active surveillance. ...
Small procedures on the body, like a skin biopsy, are great candidates for local anesthesia. ...
The Merlin Test identifies melanoma patients that have a low risk for nodal metastasis and therefore can safely forgo a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) surgery. This is an invasive surgical procedure used to determine metastatic spread of the cancer for staging purposes. In approximately 80% of the surgeries, the biopsy comes back negative for ...

The current standard of care relies on measuring changes in serum creatinine levels, which has poor sensitivity and specificity for detecting kidney transplant rejection, and can rise and fall due to numerous factors, leading to challenges making therapeutic decisions in a timely manner. Utilization of needle biopsy procedure and histology is more accurate; ...
The company’s Imagio® Breast Imaging System uses non-invasive opto-acoustic ultrasound (OA/US) technology to provide information on suspicious breast lesions in real time, helping providers characterize and differentiate masses that may – or may not – require more invasive diagnostic evaluation. Breast biopsy procedures caused by ...
