Smarter study comparisons, new modality activity/cost management reports and an enhanced interface comprise NovaRad’s NovaRIS/NovaPACS combined radiology system upgrades.

At RSNA 2013, GE Healthcare will showcase a range of molecular imaging tools designed to enable treatment evaluation earlier in a patient’s care pathway. Q.Suite, a collection of capabilities designed to extend quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) by generating more consistent standardized uptake value (SUV) readings, enabling clinicians to assess treatment response. Q.Suite is designed to help improve consistency of quantitative measurements in every key area: daily quality control, scanner workflow, motion correction, reconstruction algorithms and analysis and reporting applications. Controlling these variables to increase consistency can improve the clinician’s confidence that an SUV change has useful clinical meaning.

At RSNA 2013, GE will continue to demonstrate its innovations in low dose and high image quality in computed tomography (CT) imaging. The Discovery CT750 HD is the world's first high definition CT (HDCT), built with GE's exclusive Gemstone detector FREEdom Technologies. This allows for intelligent motion correction to “freeze” coronary motion, enhance coronary visualization and obtain additional information on plaque material composition. New this year is kV Assist, which provides optimized personalized scan settings and applications with automated kV and mA selection. kV Assist combined with SnapShot Assist deliver the desired image quality at the lowest possible dose and workflow optimizations for efficient cardiac CT.

When echocardiograms prove insufficient for diagnosis, Diagnosoft’s offers a patented and U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k)-cleared cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) solution for patient assessment. With benchmark sensitivity and specificity, the high throughput Diagnosoft CMR exam yields an advantageous alternative to nuclear or cardiac cath exams.

Independent global research organization Frost & Sullivan honored Barco, a healthcare imaging solutions company, with the 2013 North American Product Line Strategy Award in Diagnostic Imaging Displays at the 2013 Growth, Innovation & Leadership Awards on Sept. 9, 2013 in San Jose, Calif. The award recognized Barco for delivering excellence and best practices in the North American diagnostic image displays market.

Konica Minolta Medical Imaging announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Aero DR 10 x 12 wireless plate for sale.  This plate is for sites seeking a smaller and lighter wireless flat panel for use in general X-ray and specialty applications such as orthopedics and pediatrics. This includes the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where the Aero DR 10 x 12 detector fits most basinets and can be used with all major portable X-ray systems from various manufacturers.
