Women age 75 years and older should continue to get screening mammograms because of the comparatively high incidence of breast cancer found in this age group, according to a new study. The study was presented at the 2018 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 25-30.

HeartVista announced its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, One-Click Autonomous MRI acquisition software for cardiac exams. Integrated with existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, the software uses AI to guide image acquisition.

Novarad Corp. announced new mammography software NovaMG-Pro, specifically for multimodality radiologists that read mammography as well as non-mammography studies. By using the same workstation, a compatible picture archiving and communication system (PACS) user interface and optimizing human performance engineering, radiologists become more efficient, according to Novarad.

During the 104th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 25-30 in Chicago, Siemens Healthineers introduced the syngo Virtual Cockpit. Expert technicians can use this software solution to connect remotely to scanner workplaces to assist personnel at a different location, especially where more sophisticated examinations are required. The syngo Virtual Cockpit can be used with computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanners as well as with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET/MRI systems from Siemens Healthineers. With the ability to deploy experienced technologists across multiple locations, healthcare providers can transform care delivery and achieve a higher level of standardization that can lead to more accurate diagnoses.

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. Inc. announced that it will add two new digital radiography (DR) detectors — the Calneo Dual (available only in Japan) and the FDR ES — to its portfolio of digital radiography solutions on display at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 25-30 in Chicago. At the event, Fujifilm will also offer a glimpse into the future of DR detector technologies with an under-the-cover, inside-view prototype display.

Guerbet LLC USA will feature its digital solutions including its ongoing collaboration with IBM Watson Health in medical imaging, at the 2018 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 25-30 in Chicago.

Clarius Mobile Health will announce a new collective intelligence ultrasound platform at this year's Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, Nov. 25-30, 2018, in Chicago. The Clarius AI (artificial intelligence) solution focuses on data and image quality, ease of data collection, and a collaborative platform for both physicians and researchers to label and augment acquired images.

On November 15, AHRA: The Association for Medical Imaging Management announced the appointment of Daniel Kelsey, MBA, CAE, as the new chief executive officer. Founded in 1973, AHRA represents the professional interests of almost 6,000 imaging leaders at all levels of hospital imaging departments, freestanding imaging centers, and group practice throughout the U.S. and around the world.
