September 9, 2013 — Toshiba’s new Aquilion Prime is a versatile, scalable and patient-friendly computed tomography (CT) system. The system’s technologies are built for the clinical and financial needs of users both in the present and future.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) market clearance for Siemens’ Symbia Intevo, the first system to completely integrate high sensitivity of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with the high specificity of computed tomography (CT) into a single modality, rather than imaging as separate overlay images.

At the 2013 Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting (RSNA 2013), aycan, a provider of cost-saving PACS solutions, will highlight new release plugins for its post-processing workstation, aycan OsiriX PRO, which significantly expands the functionality of its specialty workstations for mammography, oncology and vascular surgery. 

While the advantages of digitalizing a hospital can be multiplied across a multi-site enterprise, the challenges can be magnified as well. That’s why Chirec, with its six sites, in Brussels, Belgium, has a comprehensive strategy to go digital and become "paperless." Agfa HealthCare’s ICIS View is bringing the hospital’s images and users closer together, and Chirec one step closer to a completely digital future.

A Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center study shows that the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before or immediately after surgery in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was not associated with reduced local recurrence or contralateral breast cancer rates.

More than two decades after becoming the world’s first hospital-based proton therapy center, the engineers, scientists and physicians at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) continue to develop new technologies that will lead to the next generation of proton therapy treatment.
