December 29, 2010 – RadNet, a diagnostic imaging service provider, will acquire Imaging On Call for $5.5 million. An additional compensation of $2.5 million will be given if Imaging On Call achieves certain 2011 performance milestones.
The acquisition will allow RadNet to enter the teleradiology business. It is expected to close on or around December 31, 2010.

SyncVision iFR Co-registration from Philips Healthcare maps iFR pressure readings onto angiogram. Results from an international study presented at #ACC19 show that pressure readings in coronary arteries may identify locations of stenoses remaining after cardiac cath interventions.

Collage depicts broad applications in machine learning or deep learning (DL) that can be applied to advanced medical imaging technologies. Size of the liver and its fat fraction — 22 percent — (top middle in collage) can be quantified automatically using an algorithm developed by Dr. Albert Hsiao and his team at the University of California San Diego. This and other information that might be mined by DL algorithms from CT and MR images could help personalize patients’ treatment. Collage provided by Albert Hsiao
