CereMetrix wins FDA nod for neuroimaging analytics platform
CereHealth subsidiary CereMetrix said yesterday it won FDA 510(k) clearance for its CereMetrix Silver neuroimaging analytics and quantification platform designed to detect, quantify and analyze brain function.
The CereMetrix Silver image viewer is designed to analyze brain images from positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans, the Denver-based company said.
“With the current technology, functional brain imaging results are blended across entire anatomical areas, allowing far more subjectivity in the physician’s interpre...

Aum Cardiovascular wins FDA clearance for Cadence heart device
Aum Cardiovascular said today that it won 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Cadence device, which is designed to detect heart murmurs.
Cadence works by applying an algorithm to the acoustic signature of heart murmurs in the primary care setting, allowing physicians to diagnose the condition without resorting to expensive CT, MRI or ultrasound scans.
“A primary care doctor is unlikely to refer patients to pricey specialty clinics, especially if the patient doesn’t show any outward signs of the disease,” founder & CEO Marie Johnson said in prepared remarks. “Cadence offers clinicians a low-cos...

(Society of Nuclear Medicine) Yale University researchers have developed a way in which medical imaging with SPECT/CT could potentially be used to assess a patient's rupture risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Delaying surgical treatment can be life-threatening, and this new type of imaging could allow physicians to diagnose disease and better plan its management.
