The Titan 3T is a works-in-progress magnetic resonance (MR) system from Toshiba. The system has several patient-friendly features that are designed to improve the exam experience.

A works-in-progress 160-detector row helical computed tomography (CT) scanning system is being unveiled on the Toshiba Aquilion One and Aquilion Premium during RSNA 2010. Ultra helical scanning can image the entire chest, abdomen and pelvis in less than five seconds, which is 2.5 times faster than standard 64-detector row CT imaging.

Target CTA and the works-in-progress Adaptive Iterative Dose Reduction (AIDR) technology, by Toshiba, lower radiation dose and make CT imaging safer for patients.

Target CTA is a dose cardiac protocol for the Aquilion ONE that is designed for patients with stable heart rates, including pediatrics. When used with the company’s SURECardio Prospective, which can reduce radiation dose by up to 80 percent, Target CTA can lower radiation by another 20 percent.

The eXpertStitching function software is integrated into several Swissray DR systems, allowing certain orthopedic studies to be performed with greater accuracy and more precision.

The software accurately combines up to four images and allows the viewing of a single image. With the company’s single-focus stitching technique, the position of the X-ray source remains fixed with respect to the patient. This ensures the overlap regions are geometrically equivalent, resulting in identical images for the same anatomy and essentially distortion free images.

Sony Medical's UP-D25MD digital color dye sublimation printer optimized for ultrasound applications. It replaces the UP-D23MD, offering a smaller footprint and upgraded features. The printer will utilize the same print media as the previous model and adds an optional laminated media model with resistance to water and fingerprints.

The Siemens Acuson S2000 ultrasound system, release 2.0, is a multi-specialty platform featuring 2-D and color Doppler imaging performance and a wide breadth of applications.

Applications such as Virtual Touch HD, the second generation of Acoustic Radiation Forced Impulse (ARFI) imaging, Cadence contrast pulse sequencing technology and 3-D/4-D imaging capabilities to provide insight into complex anatomy. Virtual Touch HD is not available in the United States.

The Ysio, by Siemens, is a digital radiography solution with an intuitive color touchscreen. It is available in a wide range of combinations to suit both the imaging application and the available budget. For example, it can be arranged as a wall stand with an integrated detector; a wall and table system with a wireless detector (wi-D); and even as a mixed detector solution for high throughput and flexibility.

The syngo.via imaging software, by Siemens, enables physicians to access advanced visualization tools across the clinical spectrum. It is designed to integrate with existing PACS and RIS systems, but offers direct, no-click access and a unified user interface with the company’s syngo.plaza PACS system.

The ddRElement digital X-ray system, by Swissray, is designed to be extremely affordable. The multifunctional DR system delivers superb image quality utilizing the latest state-of-the-art workflow software. Utilizing Swissray’s amorphous silicon flat panel 17-by-17 inch detector and a cesium iodide scintillator, it produces crisp images at very low dose.

Also, it features the eXpert/SwissVision software, which simplifies and organizes every aspect of the radiographic procedure and provides optimized workflow.

October 29, 2010 – A Web-based application that combines RIS functionalities with a platform for managing key aspects of a radiology business will be on display at RSNA 2010. The Opal-wRIS, by Viztek, delivers a full range of RIS features.
