VolparaDensity Breast Mammography Women's Health Research Dose

The ability to generate patient specific mammographic dose using volumetric breast density data from 2-D mammography and 3-D tomosynthesis was among the research presented at the 12th International Workshop on Breast Imaging (IWDM 2014), June 29-July 2, 2014. 

Elekta has selected Birst, the global leader in cloud-based business intelligence (BI), to help clinicians, researchers and business managers exploit the potential of big data in their decision-making.

Delegates from academia and industry flocked to see the world's first commercial, cryogen free, 7.0T, preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging, which went on display for the first time at the recent joint ISMRM/ESMRMB meeting in Milan, Italy and the SNMMI meeting in St Louis.

Mobile AUC App Update Encourages Appropriate Use of TEE, Contrast and Stress Imaging

The American Society of Echocardiography Foundation (ASEF) launched the second version of its free mobile Echo AUC app at the ASE Silver Anniversary Scientific Sessions in Portland, Ore., last week.

There were several new cardiovascular ultrasound technology advances highlighted at the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) annual meeting June 20-24 in Portland, Ore. Among these was the first commercial software released to analyze vector flow imaging, a possible new way to help with early diagnoses of some types of cardiovascular disease prior to symptoms developing. Another technology of note was high-resolution 3-D reconstructions of vascular plaques and any associated angiogenesis vasa vasorum, which could be a new way to noninvasively identify vulnerable plaque.

April 8 has come and gone. Microsoft XP support is over. Our use of XP-based picture archive and communications system (PACS) should be as well. But it’s not. 

Along with the growing amount of data being collected in electronic medical records (EMR) and other information repositories is the growing need to dissect and analyze that data fast and efficiently. With hospitals and practices looking to maximize efficiencies and optimize quality within their operations, having a set of analytics tools can be a key strategy for moving forward with an evolving healthcare environment.
