Fujifilm Corporation’s planned $1.63 billion acquisition of Hitachi’s diagnostic imaging business has been put on hold in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Japanese healthcare giants, which began discussing the deal back in December, were aiming to complete the acquisition some time in July. Fujifilm, however, now says that “delays in some of the preparations” brought on by the spread of the virus have changed the completion schedule and that both parties will need more time to hammer out and finalize the details. “Due to the spread of CIVD19 globally, preparations for regulatory laws related to matters and clearance for anti-monopoly have been delayed. Government offices, legal offices and others impacted by lock downs and stay at home measures have slowed these activities,” Dave Wilson, director of communications for Hitachi Healthcare Americas, told HCB News. Fujifilm has delayed a planned acquisition of Hitachi’s diagnostic imaging-related business due to the ...
Aging is caused by the deterioration of various cellular organelles and physiological processes. The pathways elements that are affected during ageing include insulin resistance, changes in body composition, decline in growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, and sex steroids.
The main function of the medical imaging equipment such as CT scanner is literally by adopting the radiographic techniques. The organs inside our bodies are covered by flesh and skin, which means we can’t inspect them directly through our eyes. In this kind of circumstance, the physician could use the medical imaging equipment to acquire the inside information without an invasive action. CT scanner as one of the most common medical imaging equipment, which could produce thin cross-sectional views of the human body. In the meanwhile, the CT scanner also could reconstruct the tomographic plane of the patient by using a number of imaged slices. The images given by the CT scanner are usually used for diagnostic purposes or any anatomic region if necessary. If you decided to make a CT scanner purchasing, tips below should be noticed. Affirming the specific type of CT scanner which could match your requirement, ...
A study published in the September issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine remarked that it noticed a huge drawback in the Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technique and warned doctors who use only PSMA PET for diagnosis to be vigilant for faulty diagnosis. “It is important that nuclear medicine physicians be aware of this pitfall, as the interpretation of PSMA PET scans may have a substantial impact on therapy guidance,” said Christoph Rischpler, MD, in the department of nuclear medicine at the Technical University of Munich in Germany. For detecting prostate cancer staging and metastases in imaging, PSMA proves to be a very efficient target as it is an extremely easy-to-read enzyme, helping better diagnosis and plotting of management protocol. Recent findings, however, show that PSMA elevates in response to some benign tissue as well, duplicating findings of lymph node metastases. This could lead to ...
