The ImagePilot Sigma digital radiography (DR) solution can now be combined with Informity — Konica Minolta’s cloud-based archive, disaster recovery, image sharing and information portal solution.  With Informity, users can collaborate with referring physicians and other specialists, receive remote support including software updates and virus protection and access service and support history and status.

The lightweight, wireless Aero DR plate is now available as a 17 x 17 inch plate. The flat panel detector incorporates Konica Minolta’s cesium iodide (CsI) scintillator, which boasts ultra-high detector quantum efficiency (DQE) for high-quality images even with minimum X-ray dose exposure. By combining the CsI panel and Konica Minolta’s image processing technology from its top-rated REGIUS systems, the Aero DR assures end users of consistent and reliable high quality imaging. The detector design fits existing wall stands and bucky trays without modifications to help a facility maximize its investment in existing equipment and deliver a universal fit solution.

 

GE Healthcare looks to the future of molecular imaging through improving cost, quality and access by helping clinicians deliver responsible care, both clinically and economically. This includes a focus on positron emission tomography (PET) treatment assessment, reinforced by a portfolio of quantitative imaging tools to help clinicians detect, diagnose and monitor disease earlier, and to evaluate cancer treatment efficacy more quickly.

October 20, 2011 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared Hologic’s Trident specimen radiography system. It uses direct digital detector technology to produce high quality images for rapid verification of tissue specimens such as breast biopsy samples. Trident is a state-of-the-art, mobile system designed to reduce procedure steps, streamline workflow and give physicians increased confidence in the accuracy of their procedures.

October 20, 2011 – GE Healthcare’s CT and Advantage Workstation team at RSNA 2011 will showcase innovative new products and technologies that may enable physicians to diagnose more confidently while improving image clarity, reducing patient dose and enhancing workflow.

During RSNA 2011, Cerner will demonstrate its ProVision Workstation 4.0. Cerner’s latest picture archiving and communications system (PACS) release, is a modular architecture that allows the workstation to be completely customized to fit any workflow.  Using a single platform, ProVision Workstation 4.0 is able to be viewed anywhere, on any device, such as a laptop or iPad, with the same functionality that a radiologist will see at a workstation in the hospital. 

Minimizing X-ray dose has driven the global imaging community to develop technologies that today can cut patient dose from computed tomography (CT) to a fraction of its previous levels.  So it may soon be in mammography.

October 20, 2011 — Mindray Medical International Limited announced it will showcase its newly enhanced hand-held M series ultrasound platforms at the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) conference held Oct. 14-18.

Oct. 20, 2011 — The Radiosurgery Society (RSS), a nonprofit organization of medical professionals dedicated to advancing the science and clinical practice of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radiosurgery (SRS), will hold its scientific meeting Feb. 23-25 at the La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, Calif.
