March 21, 2016: Olea Medical, a provider of advanced MR and CT perfusion imaging post-processing announces FDA clearance of Olea Sphere® 3.0 medical imaging enterprise software package in the US.
Olea Sphere® is an image processing software package intended for picture archive, post-processing and communication. It helps standardize both viewing and analysis capabilities of functional and dynamic imaging datasets acquired with MRI and CT across vendors. It features innovative image viewing, analysis and processing of most complex MR sequences as well as longitudinal analysis of multiple time points. Olea Sphere® is compliant with the DICOM standard and Windows® or Linux® operating systems. Olea Sphere® runs on any standard off-the-shelf workstation or it can be used through thin deployment. It maintains the traceability of patient data, through an automatic logout mode, a total connectivity and compatibility with LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory.
New advanced post-processing modules to be introduced on the US market following the FDA clearance are IVIM (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion), Metabolic and Relaxometry. With this clearance, Olea Medical becomes the first manufacturer to provide advanced post-processing for IVIM imaging, integrating their proprietary Bayesian method. IVIM MRI is a powerful feature of diffusion MRI allowing the non-invasive of evaluation blood micro-circulation in tissues without the use of contrast agents.

First Randomized Controlled Trial Shows Promise of a Ketogenic Diet in Psychotic Disorders8.7.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Trial reports correlations between ketone levels and cognitive and psychiatric symptoms in individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum and bipolar-1 disorders Published today in Schizophrenia Bulletin, a first-of-its-kind randomized controlled trial (RCT) from researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and funded in part by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), adds to growing literature on the potential benefit of a ketogenic diet for treating psychotic disorders. The study, which enrolled participants with schizophrenia-spectrum or bipolar-1 disorders, demonstrated rapid metabolic improvements with a ketogenic diet compared to diet-as-usual during an initial one-month RCT open-label phase. Furthermore, those who continued with the optional four-month single-arm ketogenic diet extension saw meaningful gains across metabolic, psychiatric, and cognitive measures.
