You can drive the 90 minutes to the small town of Poulsbo on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State. Or better yet, just jump on a ferry from Seattle and head directly across Puget Sound. Poulsbo is home to InHealth Imaging. In July 2011, InHealth was featured on television and in local newspapers for being the first imaging clinic on the West Coast to purchase a Selenia Dimensions breast tomosynthesis system, which also doubles as a stereotactic system for performing breast biopsies.

A picture archiving and communication system (PACS) comprises a multitude of different devices working together to eliminate the use of physical films generated by different imaging modalities by digitizing them. This brings ease and convenience in the economical storage and transmission of these digital images, as the need to file, retrieve or transport the physical films is eliminated.

If you missed seeing Watson (IBM’s artificial intelligence computer system, capable of answering questions posed in natural language) on the television show Jeopardy! last year, he outplayed, outlasted and outperformed his game show counterparts, besting his nearest challenger by $53,147. And while winning a game show is not quite the same as accurately diagnosing and treating a patient, the potential opportunities and applications of Watson in healthcare, and in radiology specifically, appear bright.

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) emerged as a new way to treat patients in the late 1990s and garnered attention because it offered the possibility to avoid radiating healthy tissue with more accuracy than conventional radiation therapy techniques. As a highly conformal 3-D therapy, its precise targeting of a tumor allows higher radiation doses to be delivered more safely.

Breast cancer screening is a well-established method for reducing mortality in women, because cancers can be detected at an early stage while they are still easy to treat. However, low radiation dose to the breast is important when screening, since healthy women are exposed. Numerous studies comparing full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with screen-film mammography (SFM) and computed radiography (CR) plates have been performed and show the clinical advantage and dose reduction capabilities of FFDM systems.
