New study data presented at the Alzheimer’s Association Intl. Conference 2014 (AAIC) showed that a positive [18F]flutemetamol positron emission tomography (PET) scan for brain amyloid was a highly significant predictor of progression from amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) to probable Alzheimer’s disease (pAD).
The key take away message from the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) annual meeting in July was that CT technology is advancing rapidly and there is a strong feeling it will become the pre-eminent cardiac imaging modality.

Santa Fe Imaging (SFI) has become the first facility in New Mexico and the entire mountain west region to offer 3-D automated whole breast ultrasound (ABUS) for the early detection of breast cancer in women with dense breast tissue.
Based on its recent analysis of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market, Frost & Sullivan recognized Siemens Healthcare with the 2014 North American Award for Product Leadership. Siemens Healthcare's Freezeit solution, which employs Siemens' Magnetom Aera and Skyra scanners, addresses the need for robust and motion-insensitive imaging. The solution's sophistication and utility in patient care has boosted the evolution of body MRI imaging in the U.S. market.
Philips Healthcare has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its ultra mobile ultrasound system, Visiq, in the U.S. The system is the first Philips ultrasound system to combine the benefits of greater mobility, performance and simplicity into a single miniaturized solution, helping clinicians increase access to quality diagnostic scans for more OB patients.
The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) annual meeting July 10-13 in San Diego covered the latest CT trends, technology and clinical trial data. The key takeaway message was that CT technology is advancing rapidly and there is a strong feeling cardiac CT may be able to become a one-stop-shop imaging test, eliminating the need for diagnostic catheterizations, nuclear perfusion scans, stress tests and others used to diagnose chest pain or disease progression.
