Breast CT scanner
Koning Corporation’s Koning Breast CT (KBCT) system and KBCT-guided biopsy bracket have received FDA approval. The company says that it is the first 3-D breast CT scanner on the market that images the whole breast in a single scan without requiring compression. The procedure is more comfortable than mammography because the breast isn’t compressed and less radiation is administered to the patient since only the breast is exposed to the X-rays, according to a 2014 FDA statement.
Bladder scanner
dBMEDx, a wireless medical device company, recently announced that it received FDA approval for its new bladder scanner, BBS Revolution. The scanner non-invasively measures bladder volume so physicians can decide whether a patient needs a urinary catheter. It works by combining ultrasound technology with image processing electronics and software.
