Bracco Diagnostics Inc. is voluntarily initiating a Class I recall of nine lots of Isovue (iopamidol injection) pre-filled power injector syringes (Isovue PFS, to be used in combination with Stellant CT [computed tomography] injection systems) due to the presence of visible particles in syringes observed at the end of standard stability studies on retained samples. These products were distributed to wholesalers and distributors nationwide.


Today, in 2012, our imaging technology has come a long way, but the images are no more secure or private than they were when we started  decades ago. Clinicians want the most detailed imagery they can get when making a diagnosis. If we think about sending these large images, we quickly see the magnitude and complexity of the healthcare clinician’s use; these images are only dwarfed by the CGI industry.

iCAD Inc. launched VersaVue Enterprise 3.2.1, the latest release of the company’s MR software solution that provides improvements in workflow efficiency and flexibility, at the annual conference of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

At RSNA 2012, GE Healthcare introduced the 510(k) pending Silent Scan, a revolutionary technology designed to address one of the most significant impediments to patient comfort — excessive acoustic noise generated during an magnetic resonance imaging (MR) scan. Conventional MR scanners can generate noise in excess of 110 dBA (decibels) levels, roughly equivalent to rock concerts, and require ear protection. GE’s exclusive Silent Scan technology is designed to reduce MR scanner noise to near ambient (background) sound levels and thus can improve a patient’s MR exam experience.

November 27, 2012 — At the 98th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago, Esaote North America is introducing the new G-scan Brio, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approach for weight-bearing MRI and musculoskeletal applications, which allows clinicians to increase diagnostic accuracy and confidence.
