GOPView CT, by ContextVision, is a CT enhancement software system on a standard CPU platform. The standalone cost-effective CPU-based solution enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to leverage advanced imaging technology for low-dose CT imaging.

It has had unprecedented success in reducing noise while enhancing fine structures and edges at both standard and low dose protocols. Clinical studies and current installations demonstrate that exceptional image quality can be achieved in images generated with a 30 to 70 percent lower dose.

November 24, 2010 – Several technologies for computer-assisted coding (CAC) for the healthcare industry will be demonstrated at the 2010 RSNA meeting in Chicago.

November 24, 2010 — The next-generation Radiology Collaborative Workflow Solutions offers providers a sophisticated technology platform to enhance productivity and ensure the delivery of measureable high-quality radiology care. The three solutions will be showcased at the 96th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago.

November 24, 2010 — A clinical LCD line of review monitors was expanded and introduced at RSNA 2010.

November 24, 2010 - Rotational computed tomography angiography (CTA), a new noninvasive imaging modality, has the ability to display angiography in 3-D formats. This allows for considerable simplification of orientation of complex fenestrated/branched stent grafts in 3-D views, as well as catheterization of target vessels.

November 24, 2010 — A 3MP-based display has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for digital mammography.

Totoku/USEI announced FDA clearance of its MS31i2, a 3-megapixel–based LCD, for mammography applications. Previously, only 5-megapixel displays have been FDA cleared for primary viewing of mammography images.

November 23, 2010 — Two recently FDA-approved computer-aided detection (CAD) products will be displayed at RSNA Chicago.

IBA's Compass 3-D treatment verification and dose analysis software helps reduce radiation exposure to critical structures. The system creates a beam model and measures 20 millisecond multileaf collimator (MLC) treatments and integrates this into gantry positions. The system then imports this data and reconstructs the dose using the patient's computed tomography (CT) data sets.

November 23, 2010 — The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an “approvable letter” for the Selenia Dimensions system for breast tomosynthesis (3-D) imaging.

TomoTherapy introduced its HD radiation therapy platform at ASTRO 2010. The system allows both helical and direct fixed angle radiation therapy treatments. The HD's hardware also aids in stereotactic procedures for intercranial radiation therapy.
