&lt;span&gt;Wed, 09/30/2026 - 11:44&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept. 29, 2026 — A research team at the University of Virginia (UVA) led by Timothy Bullock, PhD, has published results from a Focused Ultrasound Foundation-funded preclinical study examining whether targeting immunosuppressive immune cells could enhance thermally ablative focused ultrasound for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The approaches did not improve focused ultrasound–mediated tumor control, but the results revealed several biological and safety challenges that could inform future combination strategies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Why Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Is Difficult to Treat&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TNBC is an aggressive form of breast cancer that lacks three target receptors that are commonly used to treat other types of breast tumors. Without these targets, treatment options are more limited. In addition, TNBC tumors often contain large numbers of immunosuppressive myeloid cells. These cells can restrain T cells, support tumor growth, and help create a tumor microenvironment that resists immune attack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Investigating the Role of Immune Suppression&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thermally ablative focused ultrasound uses concentrated acoustic energy to heat and destroy targeted tumor tissue. In addition to reducing the tumor directly, thermal ablation can release tumor antigens and other signals that may alert the immune system. The UVA team previously found that combining thermal focused ultrasound with the chemotherapy gemcitabine improved tumor control in a mouse model of TNBC through a T cell dependent mechanism, although the response was not durable. Because gemcitabine can affect immunosuppressive myeloid cells that restrain T cell activity, the researchers questioned whether relieving this immune suppression contributed to the improved response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a subsequent &lt;a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11352862/"&gt;Foundation-funded study&lt;/a&gt;, the team found that although gemcitabine reduced myeloid cells in circulation, it did not reduce these cells within the tumor as anticipated. This finding prompted the researchers to explore other ways of manipulating the myeloid cells within the tumor microenvironment.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To investigate this possibility, Dr. Bullock’s team tested whether removing immunosuppressive myeloid cells or attempting to reprogram them could strengthen the immune effects of focused ultrasound. They evaluated several approaches in two mouse models of TNBC; they used chemotherapies and antibodies to reduce certain myeloid cell populations and compounds called toll-like receptor agonists, intended to stimulate or reprogram immune cells. They then combined the most promising antibody- and immune-stimulating approaches with thermally ablative focused ultrasound.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;What the Researchers Found&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tested strategies changed parts of the immune environment, but none produced the durable, selective myeloid-cell changes needed to improve focused ultrasound–mediated tumor control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The findings refine the team’s earlier work: The benefit previously observed with gemcitabine and thermal focused ultrasound may not have resulted from relieving myeloid-cell suppression. Direct effects on tumor cells or other components of the tumor microenvironment may instead contribute to the response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This research was funded by the UVA Cancer Center, the UVA Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology Department, and the Focused Ultrasound Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang="" about="http://www.itnonline.com/users/timhodson" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang=""&gt;tim.hodson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;Wed, 09/30/2026 - 11:14&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept. 29, 2026 — &lt;a href="https://prenuvo.com/"&gt;Prenuvo&lt;/a&gt; has launched the Prenuvo Research Network (The Network) to shift the healthcare paradigm from reactive to proactive. The Network is an initiative bringing together Prenuvo's AI tools, internal R&amp;D teams, scientists and academic institutions to build the evidence base for proactive, preventive medicine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Network's research is powered by the Prenuvo Imaging Biobank — a proprietary collection of high quality whole-body MRI scans obtained with standardized, research-grade protocols and equipment. With more than 200,000 whole-body MRI scans completed, the Biobank enables researchers to help study disease patterns years before symptoms may appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leveraging the Prenuvo Imaging Biobank, the Network is dedicated to studying early signs of structural and physiological changes in the human body, building an unprecedented picture of how disease develops over time. Early findings are beginning to generate meaningful insights into high-burden non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular risk, cancer, metabolic conditions and neurodegenerative disorders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Network's initial collaborators represent experts from more than 50 institutions, including City of Hope, UCSF, and Moffitt Cancer Center. Unlike traditional academic research constrained by lengthy grant cycles and narrow focus areas, the Network is built to be collaborative and clinically driven, examining real-world medical questions and led by Prenuvo's in-house Medical Affairs and AI Research organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This initiative builds upon Prenuvo's growing research portfolio, including internal &lt;a href="https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2025.43.16_suppl.TPS10626?referrer=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/prenuvo-launches-research-network-to-track-disease-patterns-with-whole-body-mri-302892100.html"&gt;Hercules&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://aacrjournals.org/cancerres/article/85/8_Supplement_1/7406/760042"&gt;Polaris&lt;/a&gt; studies, which examine the effectiveness of whole-body MRI screening for early disease detection. All research follows applicable ethical, patient safety, data integrity and regulatory compliance requirements including collaborator institution IRB review where required.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"The launch of the Prenuvo Research Network marks a groundbreaking moment for the future of healthcare. We're creating a research ecosystem that brings together cutting-edge AI, the largest internal database of whole-body MRI  scans, and leading academic institutions—all united in the mission to transform proactive care," said Dr. Alex Exuzides, VP and Head of Research &amp; Medical Affairs at Prenuvo. "The Prenuvo Research Network is designed to generate high-quality, real-world evidence on the role of whole-body MRI in clinical care. By combining a large-scale imaging dataset with rigorous analysis, we're able to study early patterns of disease in ways that have not been possible before. Our goal is to build a strong evidence base for proactive, preventive healthcare through collaborative, clinically grounded research."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"My laboratory's research focuses on bridging knowledge of peripheral diseases such as obesity to higher risk of neurological disorders, mainly Alzheimer's disease," said Dr. Cyrus Raji, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "Access to high-quality research databases that image the body and brain is essential to building on the success of this work."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"We're seeing a troubling rise in lung cancer among people who don't fit the traditional risk profiles, especially never-smokers and women," said Dr. Lary Robinson, Thoracic Oncologist at Moffitt Cancer Center.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;"Working with Prenuvo, we're studying patients outside current screening guidelines to better understand which factors beyond smoking might signal elevated lung cancer risk. With access to de-identified data from Prenuvo's large internal dataset, we have a unique opportunity to explore early signs like lung nodules and connect them to the full picture of individual risk."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"City of Hope recently piloted the use of whole-body MRI alongside multi-cancer early detection blood testing in individuals with a strong family history of cancer. We found this approach may help detect cancers — sometimes in earlier stages — and may reduce patients' worries surrounding the disease. Further research will help clarify the role of whole-body MRI in early cancer detection," says Dr. Dan Raz, MD, Professor of Thoracic Surgery, Director of Lung Cancer Screening, and Co-Director of the Lung Cancer and Thoracic Oncology Program at City of Hope.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Early detection can be a game changer for conditions where progressive growth and possibly even malignant transformation are the natural history," said Dr. Jacob Young, Assistant Professor, Department of Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Francisco. "Using Prenuvo's de-identified data sets to help define the frequency and characteristics of incidentally discovered lesions can improve our decision-making and management for patients now and in the future."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Initial Research Highlights&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Prenuvo Research Network launches with four featured studies, including peer-reviewed abstracts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Significant Pulmonary and Mediastinal Findings in Patient Driven MRI Whole Body Screening&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study, representing the largest analysis of pulmonary and mediastinal findings on WB-MRI to date, establishes that clinically significant intrathoracic abnormalities — including findings concerning malignancy — can be detectable at meaningful rates in patients undergoing patient-driven preventive screening. These results highlight the potential of WB-MRI to extend cancer detection beyond guideline-eligible populations and underscore the need for prospective research into its impact on lung cancer mortality. &lt;a href="https://prenuvo.com/research/significant-pulmonary-and-mediastinal-findings-in-patient-driven-mri-whole-body-screening"&gt;Learn more.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Incidental Brain Findings in more than 78,000 Individuals from the General Population Undergoing Preventive Whole-Body MRI&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study provides the largest population-level characterization of incidental intracranial findings detected through preventive whole-body MRI, revealing that clinically significant brain abnormalities — including aneurysms, infarcts, and meningiomas — occur in 7% of screened individuals. These findings underscore the value of screening MRI in uncovering silent but actionable neurological pathology, and call for further investigation into the downstream clinical management and outcomes of incidentally detected brain findings at scale. &lt;a href="https://prenuvo.com/research/incidental-brain-findings-in-over-78-000-individuals-from-the-general-population-undergoing-preventive-whole-body-mri"&gt;Learn more.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Whole-Body and Brain Changes Associated with Alcohol Intake in Adults Without Alcohol Use Disorder&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study uniquely links alcohol consumption with structural changes in both brain and body organs among non-AUD individuals. These findings prompt further investigation into alcohol's broader health implications, particularly concerning cross-organ relationships and their clinical significance. &lt;a href="https://prenuvo.com/research/whole-body-and-brain-changes-associated-with-alcohol-intake-in-adults-without-alcohol-use-disorder"&gt;Learn more.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Incidental Renal Findings Across 117,826 Whole-Body MRI Scans&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study uniquely characterizes the prevalence and risk profile of incidentally detected renal lesions across the largest whole-body MRI cohort to date, demonstrating that while the vast majority of findings are small and likely benign, clinically concerning lesions follow known RCC risk patterns. These findings prompt further investigation into the role of whole-body MRI in early renal cancer detection and the clinical frameworks needed to appropriately triage incidental findings at a population scale. &lt;a href="https://prenuvo.com/research/epidemiology-of-incidental-renal-lesions-insights-from-117-826-whole-body-mri-examinations"&gt;Learn more.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;Mon, 09/28/2026 - 11:47&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept. 28, 2026 — &lt;a href="https://www.pennmedicine.org/"&gt;Penn Medicine&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.iba-worldwide.com/"&gt;Ion Beam Applications (IBA)&lt;/a&gt; have formed Noventra Oncology Alliance, a new joint venture designed to help healthcare providers successfully develop, implement, and optimize proton therapy and advanced radiation oncology programs. The new company will provide an integrated service offering spanning strategic and financial planning, clinical readiness, program implementation and long-term operational performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new company brings together the clinical, operational, research and education expertise of Penn Medicine with IBA's global leadership in proton therapy technology, project development, and implementation capabilities. The joint venture will provide integrated advisory and lifecycle support services that help healthcare organizations navigate the complexities of developing and sustaining successful proton therapy programs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As proton therapy becomes an increasingly important component of comprehensive cancer care, health systems around the world are seeking to expand access while ensuring clinical excellence and financial sustainability. However, developing and operating a successful program requires more than equipment acquisition. Organizations must address challenges related to strategic planning, capital investment, reimbursement, workforce development, clinical readiness, operational performance, research infrastructure, and long-term program growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Proton Therapy Expertise&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"By combining Penn Medicine’s decades of experience building and operating one of the world’s leading proton therapy programs with IBA’s expertise in proton therapy technology and implementation, we are creating a unique platform to help healthcare organizations deliver exceptional care to patients while building sustainable, high-performing oncology programs," said James Metz, MD, chair of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"A center that is unable to treat patients at scale or operate sustainably ultimately falls short of its purpose. By bringing together IBA’s global expertise in proton therapy technology and project implementation with Penn Medicine’s clinical and operational leadership, Noventra Oncology Alliance helps organizations reduce the clinical, operational, and financial risks associated with developing advanced radiation oncology programs. It will also be key to reinforcing the value of this technology in cancer treatment and accelerating its broader adoption" added Henri de Romrée, Deputy CEO of IBA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unlike traditional advisory models, the joint venture combines the perspectives of a world-leading clinical operator and the global leader in proton therapy technology, creating a single partner that can support organizations from initial strategy through long-term operational excellence.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;div class="field--item"&gt;  &lt;img loading="lazy" src="http://www.itnonline.com/sites/default/files/Leica%20Aperio.jpg" width="986" height="648" alt="Leica Biosystems Adds Pathology Products to Aperio AI Store" title="Leica Biosystems Adds Pathology Products to Aperio AI Store" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  

&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang="" about="http://www.itnonline.com/users/timhodson" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang=""&gt;tim.hodson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;Fri, 09/25/2026 - 13:43&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sept. 24, 2026 — &lt;/b&gt;Leica Biosystems,has added two Paige digital pathology AI-enabled products from Tempus to its Aperio AI Store — a unified, interoperable digital pathology platform that provides multiple AI-powered applications in a single interface. Designed to simplify adoption and accelerate the use of advanced image analysis, the Aperio AI Store helps turn complex pathology images into actionable research insights that could ultimately drive the future of patient care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By bringing partner applications into a streamlined workflow, the Aperio AI Store helps laboratories and researchers generate insights from pathology images more efficiently and at scale, supporting broader adoption of computational pathology and helping unlock the full value of digital pathology data for cancer research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The newly available products include Paige PanCancer Detect, a research application designed to identify suspicious areas across more than 40 cancer types, powered by Tempus’ pathology foundation model. The release also features Paige Prostate, a suite of AI-powered research applications — including Paige Prostate Detect, Paige Prostate Grade &amp; Quantify, and Paige Perineural Invasion — that support the assessment of prostate cancer features in H&amp;E-stained whole slide images. Both products are for research use only and are not intended for diagnostic or clinical use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang="" about="http://www.itnonline.com/users/timhodson" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang=""&gt;tim.hodson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span&gt;Thu, 09/24/2026 - 10:24&lt;/span&gt;

            &lt;div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sept. 17, 2026 — &lt;a href="https://www.usa.philips.com/"&gt;Royal Philips&lt;/a&gt; and Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center (SMRMC), which serves as the hub of Southwest Health, recently announced that the hospital has installed the first Philips Rembra CT system for acute and high-demand imaging environments in the United States. The system is designed to support the McComb hospital’s high-demand emergency imaging environment with the goal of expanding local access to advanced diagnostic services for patients throughout southwest Mississippi.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SMRMC serves small towns and rural communities across the region and is now using Rembra CT in its emergency and general radiology departments. Designed to accelerate scanning and image reconstruction, Rembra may reduce the time patients spend on the table and help clinicians manage high patient volumes in emergency settings, where every minute matters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“As healthcare continues to evolve, our goal is to invest in technology that not only advances clinical care but also improves the patient experience,” said Brent Albritton, Director of Radiology at SMRMC. “Our team is already seeing practical day-to-day benefits, including faster system initialization, more efficient image selection, helpful 3D tools and easier patient positioning. These improvements are helping us meet demand while continuing to expand diagnostic services for our community here in McComb.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Philips Rembra CT&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Designed for acute and high-demand imaging environments, the FDA 510(k)-cleared Philips Rembra CT combines advanced detector technology, AI-enabled workflows and rapid image reconstruction designed to make images available in near-real time and support timely clinical decision-making in settings such as emergency and trauma care&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;. The Rembra CT can support up to 270 patient exams per day in throughput testing, helping imaging departments manage growing patient volumes&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the largest-in-class 85 cm bore, the system is designed to help facilitate patient access and positioning [1]. SMRMC also sees an opportunity to further develop its imaging services, including cardiac CT angiography and virtual colonoscopy, as its clinical programs and staffing continue to grow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Emergency departments are under constant pressure to move quickly while managing significant patient volumes and clinical complexity,” said Brian Murphy, Vice President, Head of Imaging, North America, Philips. “For community hospitals like SMRMC, access to advanced imaging technology designed for speed, consistency and workflow efficiency can help care teams get the information they need sooner and make more confident decisions when time matters most. With Philips’ Rembra CT, the hospital is strengthening emergency care and helping more patients access advanced imaging close to home.”&lt;/p&gt;
