June 29, 2011 — A new study utilizing data from the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL) suggests that while noncompliance with reporting standards is found in the majority of nuclear cardiology laboratories throughout the U.S., those facilities participating in the ICANL accreditation process demonstrate an increase in compliance over time.

June 29, 2011 – The University of Chicago is allowing Pinnacle Oncology to acquire its technology and intellectual property rights for the development of a compound, amifostine, to prevent genomic instability caused by a variety of sources of ionizing radiation exposure, including common computed tomography (CT) scans.

June 29, 2011 –The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510(k) market clearance of the 30-inch MultiSync MD301C4 medical diagnostic display for the displaying and viewing of digital images for diagnosis by trained physicians. The display is made by NEC Display Solutions of America.


Since its introduction to the marketplace 20-plus years ago, digital radiography (DR) has been making an impact.


Probably the biggest trend occurring in cardiovascular ultrasound systems today is the adoption of 3-D/4-D echo systems, which offer the benefits of better images, more data, better measurement quantification and faster workflow. Other key trends include: software to speed workflow with fewer keystrokes and to enhance quantification; miniaturization; increased use of tissue strain imaging, and expanded use for operating room and cath lab procedures.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock is a national leader in academic medicine, particularly in evidence-based and patient-centered healthcare, medical research and healthcare policy reform. Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in Lebanon, New Hampshire, recently adopted a breast biopsy table designed with the goal of improving patient comfort during prone stereotactic biopsy procedures.


Replacement strategies for picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) have evolved in consort with advances in medical imaging technologies. Facilities want a new PACS to help improve workflow by streamlining processes, enhance patient care by integrating imaging with other IT systems – such as electronic medical records/electronic health records (EMRs/EHRs) for full patient history information, and achieve a lower total cost of ownership and return on investment than their existing PACS.

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) solutions have revolutionized the way radiologists and referring physicians review, interpret, share and interact with diagnostic imaging studies. Advances in PACS have enabled organizations to improve patient care and streamline operations. The integration of health information systems/radiology information systems (HIS/RIS) and PACS solutions has bridged gaps to improve efficiency.
The Dell Compellent data storage array stores some of the 64 TB of data Princeton Radiology keeps at its two sites

Coupling 50 years of experience with the latest radiological imaging technology and treatments, Princeton Radiology is a global leader in the diagnosis, treatment and research of disease. With five offices located across the state of New Jersey, our practice maintains millions of radiological patient records, including 20 years worth of electronic medical records (EMRs). At Princeton Radiology, we are improving patient care and making data easier to share between offices and physicians. Digital images have changed the way our offices operate.
