MedCognetics Introduces the First Embedded AI Cancer Detection System for Mammography Imaging

MedCognetics

MedCognetics, Inc., a company focusing on medical imaging AI, today announced the successful testing and implementation of the first embedded AI image processing and cancer detection system for mammography. The system utilizes the NVIDIA IGX Orin TM medical-grade edge AI platform alongside MedCognetics’ advanced AI-enabled software, CogNet AI-MT, which was developed in collaboration with clinical leaders worldwide. CogNet AI-MT has been trained on a diverse global dataset to enhance the performance of radiologists and help improve patient outcomes worldwide. Incorporating MedCognetics’ new system would allow for AI-driven image enhancement and cancer detection to occur in real-time within the mammography device itself. The embedded solution eliminates latency, delivering immediate, high-quality image analysis, a significant improvement over traditional setups that require external workstations or cloud-based processing. This approach is poised to improve patient outcomes through faster results, enhanced image quality and reduced hardware costs. “Embedding our CogNet AI-MT software directly into mammography imaging equipment means we can enhance image quality and provide immediate cancer detection without the need for costly hardware upgrades,” said Debasish “Ron” Nag, CEO of MedCognetics. “Using the NVIDIA IGX platform, we’re advancing medical imaging technology, making high-quality diagnostic tools more accessible to radiologists and imaging centers around the world.” The NVIDIA IGX Orin platform combines enterprise-level hardware, software, and support. It is purpose-built for industrial and medical edge computing. The platform delivers the performance, durability, security, and safety required for advanced AI applications and features programmable safety extensions, commercial OS support, and powerful AI software. These capabilities, equip organizations to confidently deploy AI safely and securely for enhanced human and machine collaboration. The embedded AI system developed by MedCognetics offers several key benefits: On-Premises Device: Rapid, complete analysis right in the radiology workflow. Enhanced Image Quality: AI-driven enhancements improve the clarity and detail of images without requiring high-end, expensive hardware. Immediate Results: Processing occurs within the device, providing instant analysis and reducing the wait time for results. Cost Efficiency: Medical device manufacturers can achieve high-end image quality at a fraction of the cost by utilizing AI rather than upgrading hardware. Workflow Optimization: Enables worklist prioritization and clinic-determined workflow optimization, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of radiologists and imaging centers. Easy Upgrades and Maintenance: Software-based solutions are easier to update and maintain, helping to ensure that medical imaging equipment remains cutting-edge without frequent hardware replacements. Earlier this year, MedCognetics was awarded a groundbreaking patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its inclusive, unbiased medical imaging AI technology in mammography. Its expertise in embedded engineering, combined with the NVIDIA IGX platform, is poised to significantly advance medical imaging technology. This work underscores the importance of integrating AI into medical devices to enhance diagnostic capabilities and patient care.

Edit Suits Co. Introduces New Service to Help Men Build Flexible Business Casual Wardrobes

Rev Up Marketers

As more companies shift towards business casual dress codes, Edit Suits Co. is pleased to announce the launch of a new style advisory service. This service aims to assist men in creating versatile wardrobes suitable for both formal and business casual occasions. With the decline of formal dress codes, the traditional suit is no longer a daily necessity. However, this has introduced a new challenge for men: finding coordinated and stylish combinations of jackets, trousers, and shirts. To address this, Edit Suits Co. has developed a service focused on three key principles to ensure every wardrobe remains adaptable and fashionable: Choose Softer Jacket Fits: To achieve a wardrobe that transitions effortlessly from formal to casual, opt for softer fits with soft shoulders and construction. Structured jackets are typically reserved for formal wear, while softer styles work well in both formal and casual settings. Select Textured Fabrics: Fabric selection is crucial when wearing separates. Worsted wool, commonly used for formal suits, may seem out of place when worn as separates. Instead, textured fabrics such as high-twist wool, hopsack, linen, flannel, or brushed cotton are ideal for creating versatile and intentional separates. Opt for Versatile Colours: When building a flexible wardrobe, stick to timeless colours such as blues, greys, browns, and greens. Midnight blue jackets, charcoal trousers, and light beige separates can be easily mixed and matched, ensuring a sharp appearance for any occasion. To experience the new style advisory service and create a personalised, versatile wardrobe, visit one of the Edit Suits Co. showrooms in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Leeds. About Edit Suits Co.: Edit Suits Co. is a leading provider of custom menswear that specialises in crafting bespoke wardrobes, versatile custom suits, jackets, trousers, and shirts. Their experienced team work closely with each client to create a wardrobe that combines style and confidence in every setting.

SPARK Microsystems to Demonstrate Bit-Perfect Wireless Audio Delivery at AES Show 2024 NY

SPARK Microsystems

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation short-range wireless communications, will showcase an industry-first breakthrough in wireless audio delivery at AES Show 2024 NY (October 8 -10, Jacob Javits Convention Center, New York). At the event, SPARK will share the results of an exhaustive third-party expert analysis comparing SPARK ultra-wideband (UWB) digital audio performance versus the performance delivered with a digital wire. On Thursday, October 10, 11AM in Demo Room 3D04, audio industry expert Jeff Anderson will present an audio transmission data comparison of UWB and straight S/PDIF wire links at data rates up to 24 bits and 96Ks/s. In a major breakthrough for the audio industry and a giant leap beyond legacy Bluetooth wireless, the results will show that SPARK UWB audio delivery is indistinguishable from a wired transmission, exhibiting bit-perfect fidelity. Data shows that the SPARK UWB transmission scheme delivers a pristine, uncorrupted audio bit depth at ultra-low latency. Headsets, speakers and audio equipment harnessing this bit-perfect performance profile can deliver wired-like sound quality – without the wires. AES Show 2024 NY attendees are invited to experience SPARK’s breakthrough wireless audio quality for themselves via demonstrations of SPARK’s headset demo kit. Delivering pristine uncompressed 96kHz 24-bit audio quality, the SPARK UWB audio technology featured in the headset design ensures that listeners can enjoy their music and entertainment with flawless sound fidelity. SPARK’s headset demo kit offers support for up to 96kHz stereo audio and a 48kHz 16-bit microphone back channel with an impressive low latency of sub-7ms, making the technology ideal for applications where clear, uninterrupted communication is essential. SPARK audio technology far outperforms legacy Bluetooth in data throughput, low latency and power efficiency, while enabling lower latency and significantly lower power consumption than Wi-Fi-based audio technologies to ensure longer battery life. “SPARK’s reputation for audio excellence has been embraced by prestigious audio brands from Focal to Sonus Faber,” said Fares Mubarak, Chief Executive Officer, SPARK Microsystems. “Expert analysis now affirms what these brands and their discerning customers already know – SPARK’s wireless audio delivery performance is unrivaled. I’m looking forward to meeting with attendees, customers and stakeholders at AES Show 2024 NY to discuss the future of wireless audio delivery.” AES Show 2024 NY attendees are invited to visit SPARK Microsystems at Booth 542 for live demonstrations of SPARK’s headset demo kit.
