October 21, 2011 — Segasist Technologies, a Canadian software company, announced it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its prostate auto-contouring software Segasist P-AC.

Operated by TeraMedica Inc., the mission of the VNA Institute of Technology (VNAIT) is to provide healthcare professionals with the most up-to-date industry information in a convenient online setting. The Institute was designed to fill the void of available education on healthcare informatics.  

Evercore now supports MINT (medical imaging network transport), the latest technology designed to improve access speed for the display of medical images.  

The Luminos Agile fluoroscopy/radiography system is the first patient-side controlled system with dynamic flat-panel detector technology, height-adjustable table and true dual-use capability for fluoroscopy and radiography. The Luminos Agile’s dynamic flat-panel detector provides an image that is up to 177 percent larger and allows for better patient coverage than a 13-inch image intensifier, enabling users to view objects without repositioning or changing the field of view, and reducing overall fluoroscopy time and dose.

 

The Mammomat Inspiration full-field digital mammography system offers digital screening and diagnostic mammography, stereotactic biopsy and upgrade capability to future technologies – all in one system. To match breast density and thickness, the Inspiration offers three anode/filter combinations: Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh and w/Rh. The Inspiration’s Opdose feature automatically selects the appropriate anode/filter combination and the lowest radiation dose for individual breast characteristics.

 

During RSNA 2011, Siemens’ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) power couple Tim (Total Imaging Matrix) 4G and Dot (Day Optimizing Throughput) deliver patient-centered care and significantly improve productivity across the entire MRI workflow. Both technologies are currently available on two MRI systems: Magnetom Aera 1.5 Tesla (T) and Magnetom Skyra 3.0T.

As an innovative leader in dose reduction, Siemens has long applied a comprehensive approach to all areas of diagnostic and interventional imaging: combined applications to reduce exposure (CARE). Today, Siemens’ CARE standard brings together a wide variety of advanced technologies and applications to meet the needs of patients and physicians for appropriate radiation dose with the best possible outcomes for diagnosis and interventions.

 

The Acuson S2000 ultrsound system is built on Siemens’ most advanced next-generation acoustic technologies to offer superior architecture, advanced clinical applications and high-resolution transducers that deliver exceptionally high levels of detail. The Acuson S2000 systems use Siemens’ proprietary micro-pinless transducer connector technology, optimized for high-frequency imaging, to deliver high-end 2-D, 3-D, Doppler and 4-D imaging.

 

At RSNA 2011, Sectra will launch Sectra User Influence, a Web forum where Sectra customers can influence and comment on products that are currently being developed.

The company said its tight cooperation with customers has always been at the core of Sectra’s product development. UserInfluence enables a dialog similar to that available in social media platforms between Sectra developers, product managers and customers around the globe.
