eHealth Technologies’ eHealthViewer ZF is a zero footprint viewer that enables clinicians, with any secure browser, to instantly access their patients’ medical images, in diagnostic-quality, right from within their patients’ medical record. The latest enhancement to the eHealthViewer ZF is Image Collaboration.  Whether through consultation with a remote specialist or grand rounds with the patients’ clinical care team, the eHealthViewer ZF collaboration tool delivers real-time, fluid image review and interaction for healthcare professionals. Using this singular feature, multiple users at different locations, can interactively view and manipulate radiology and cardiology images with full access to the eHealthViewer ZF advanced toolset.

Just a few years ago, integrated positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging was found only in research institutes, but little by little the technology has expanded into clinical practice. This is especially true for cardiac indications, for which the highly sensitive soft tissue contrast of MR and the functional and metabolic imaging of PET are particularly valuable. New research proves the value of PET/MR compared to PET/computed tomography (CT) in cardiac applications, say researchers at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging’s 2013 Annual Meeting.

A new report from KLAS, “Digital X-Ray Performance 2013: Impact of a Wireless Workflow,” shows providers are seeing big benefits from wireless detector technology. With all of the major vendors offering it and prices coming down, wireless digital radiography (DR) is becoming a standard for digital X-ray room replacements.
ACR New York Times Article Misleads the Public Colorectal Cancer Screening

The American College of Radiology (ACR) strongly urges Americans ages 50-and-older, particularly those with a family history of colorectal cancer, not to delay or forego recommended screening due to concerns raised by a June 1, New York Times article titled, “The $2.7 Trillion Medical Bill: Colonoscopies Explain why U.S. Leads the Work in Health Expenditures.”

Radsource is an innovative, highly specialized teleradiology practice that provides musculoskeletal and neurological MRI interpretation services. Headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, Radsource is staffed by a team of 20 sub-specialized radiologists who read 140,000 studies annually for customers spanning more than 50 locations across the United States.

Radsource radiologists read and interpret studies in a highly collaborative environment enabled by Intelerad’s IntelePACS system.

All Radsource physicians use the IntelePACS integrated worklist and viewer. The intuitive, shared Intelerad Reporting Worklist optimally distributes the workload while providing the ability to collaborate on cases – thus leveraging all the expertise within the group to effect the highest quality interpretations.

“The ability to interact clinically while viewing the images is really an important part of building that client relationship,” says Mark Awh, M.D., Radsource president. High levels of interaction among the radiologists, as well as with their referring physicians, are key contributors to the unparalleled quality and service for which Radsource is known. The end result is greatly enhanced patient care.

Blackford Analysis announced that recent studies on the use of low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans to screen for lung cancer present a strong case for the ability to accelerate comparative analysis of CT scans.

Accuray Incorporated announced the first patient has been treated with its new TomoHDA System at Centre Oscar Lambret in Lille, France. Building upon the proven TomoTherapy Hi-Art and TomoHD technologies, the TomoHDA System is a fully-integrated radiation therapy system designed to treat the full spectrum of cancer patients. Performance enhancements, unrivaled dose distributions and faster treatments are among the multiple new benefits of the TomoHDA System. With the addition of this latest innovation in the TomoTherapy family, Centre Oscar Lambret will be capable of providing excellent care to more patients as a result of the TomoHDA System's increased speed when computing treatment plans and delivering radiation treatment.

Led by the launch of the Aplio 500 and Aplio 300 ultrasound systems, Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. saw a 28 percent U.S. ultrasound business growth in 2012, far exceeding the industry’s 3 percent, according to Klein Biomedical Consultants Inc.’s industry report published in April 2013.

GE Healthcare has announced that all of its new computed tomography (CT) products meet the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) smart dose standard that raises the bar for CT dose management.
