KA Imaging Unveils New Brand Identify for its Patented Dual Energy Technology

Canadian manufacturer KA Imaging unveiled a new brand identity for its patented dual-energy technology. SpectralDR™ is currently built into the Reveal™ 35C detector. The new brand is in line with the company’s strategy to expand its presence in the X-ray market.

“The Reveal™ 35C detector is a breakthrough and the first in an exciting product roadmap,” said Fernanda Fraga, Marketing Manager of KA Imaging. At this time, Reveal™ 35C detector is available for sale in Canada, the United States, and other countries globally. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to develop an integrated mobile system powered by its SpectralDR™ technology.

KA Imaging’s SpectralDR™ technology enables dual-energy subtraction, providing bone and tissue differentiation with a single standard X-ray exposure. It acquires three images simultaneously (DR, bone and soft tissue dual-energy X-ray images). The technology mimics the workflow, dose and techniques of state-of-the-art mobile DR X-ray detectors.

“It’s a 3-in-1 solution, as in three images with one exposure to radiation and no extra work. Having a DR plus the supplemental spectral bone and tissue images allows for better diagnosis and faster reading,” said Dr. Phil Templeton, radiologist, and Chief Medical Officer of KA Imaging. The spectral images provide enhanced visualization of different conditions like lung nodules, pneumonia, tips of lines and tubes, pneumothorax and retained surgical bodies.

Adding a name to the patented technology simplifies the message to the industry. “SpectralDR™ addresses the drawbacks of previous dual-energy subtraction or bone suppression approaches,” said Dr. Karim S. Karim, CTO of KA Imaging.  Conventional dual energy is not mobile and uses two exposures, while bone suppression image quality is limited and cannot provide bone images. “SpectralDR™ really takes general X-ray to the next level because you can get true bone and soft tissue subtracted images every time plus a DR image in one exposure at the lowest dose. If it’s low dose, 3-in-1, and mobile and single exposure, you can bet it is powered by SpectralDR™, said Karim.

PADCEV® (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) and KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) Significantly Improve Overall Survival and Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Previously Untreated Advanced Bladder Cancer in Pivotal Phase...

The EV-302 study met its dual primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), compared to chemotherapy. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee determined that OS crossed the pre-specified efficacy boundary at interim analysis. The safety results of the combination are consistent with those of enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab previously reported in cisplatin-ineligible patients with la/mUC.

NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals Doses First Patient in Its Phase 2a Clinical Trial Evaluating DA-1241 for the Treatment of NASH

"Dosing the first patient, on time, is a testament to our commitment to the clinical development of DA-1241 in patients with NASH," stated Hyung Heon Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeuroBo. "Based on the pre-clinical and clinical evidence generated to date, DA-1241 has demonstrated reduced hepatic steatosis, hepatic inflammation, and liver fibrosis, while also improving glucose control, and was shown to be well tolerated in both healthy volunteers and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Given this data, we believe that the mechanism of action of this promising cardiometabolic asset will translate into a safe and effective treatment for NASH, a disease with no current treatment options. The two-part design of this trial provides optionality for a potential interim analysis in the first half of 2024 and we expect to report the full data in the second half of 2024."
