Breast MRI developer Aurora Imaging Technology of North Andover, MA, unveiled its UltraRODEO imaging technique at a conference on breast MRI last week sponsored by Stanford University of Stanford, CA. The rotating delivery of excitation off-resonance (RODEO) is a proprietary pulse sequence that provides fat suppression and magnetization transfer contrast in a high-resolution image acquisition.
The firm received Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for its RODEO technique last month. UltraRODEO represents an advancement of that technique and provides independent simultaneous MR imaging of both breasts, producing a fat-suppressed bilateral exam with unilateral quality, according to Aurora.
