Imaging Informatics leaders from across the globe gathered in Grapevine, Texas, last week to exchange ideas and network with their peers during the 2013 annual meeting of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM). The event included opportunities to earn CME and CE credits while hearing experts from the field discuss key topics, including personalized medicine, decision support and surviving electronic medical record implementation. Two new Learning Tracks were introduced this year: Innovators and Entrepreneurship, and Reinventing the Radiologist.

Shina Systems announced the new commercial release of its 3Di picture archive and communications system (PACS) solution. Shina Systems' 3Di is a platform that allows clinicians, healthcare providers and patients to view medical images everywhere and for any purpose — from diagnostic image interpretation to intuitive viewing of images in a personal health record.

 

Use of computed tomography (CT) scans — and thus exposure to ionizing radiation — increased over 15 years in children at a set of nonprofit health care delivery systems in a new study. But currently available strategies could greatly reduce this cancer risk, according to the HMORN Cancer Research Network study, published in JAMA Pediatrics.

Agfa began its global release of ICISTM View 3.0, the medical images and results viewer for the comprehensive ICIS enterprise imaging solution. The ICIS patient imaging data platform is a fundamental part of the company’s global e-health strategy. Building on its leadership in enterprise imaging management and web-enabled technology, Agfa HealthCare’s ICIS View 3.0 allows clinicians, specialists, and all other stakeholders to access all patient imaging data from any PACS or VNA, using a single viewer, to support continuity and productivity of patient care. This cost- effective solution leverages the hospital’s existing investment in technology, and provides access to the most current and relevant patient imaging data directly from the source.

Use of the newer intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and use of the older conformal radiotherapy (CRT) after surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland were associated with similar morbidity and cancer control outcomes, according to a study published by JAMA Internal Medicine, a JAMA Network publication.

Mirada Medical collaborators has presented new positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) research. The software supports both the hardware hybrid scanners and provides validated deformable registration for software based PET/CT (computed tomorgraphy)/MRI.
