May 18, 2010 - Proton beam therapy is becoming more accessible in the United States.

While proton beam therapy has proved to be more precise in delivering dose to tumors compared to conventional external beam radiation, the larger proton beam accelerator is more expensive, and the process requires special training.

May 18, 2010 - Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting one in six men. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million American men currently living with prostate cancer.

May 18, 2010 - New wireless digital radiography (DR) systems are in increasing demand as the untethered detectors are well suited for producing digital images in confined spaces, positioning around patients with limited mobility, remote imaging, emergency rooms, sterile environments, and the intensive care unit (ICU).

May 18, 2010 - Fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness is the standard of care in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) for detecting increased nuchal translucency, a factor associated with increased risk of aneuploidy, fetal structural malformations, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

May 17, 2010 - The radiation oncology community will discuss steps manufacturers of linear accelerators, radiation therapy treatment planning systems and radiation therapy simulators can take to help reduce misadministration and misaligned exposures.

May 17, 2010 - Physicians and other caregivers can collaborate and communicate over networks via standard computer systems, laptops, tablets, mobile smart phones, and new devices such as the iPad.

May 17, 2010 - As medical imaging technology becomes smaller and more compact, it become even handier at the point-of-care.

Siemens Healthcare presented at the 58th Annual Clinical Meeting of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in San Francisco the 2.0 release of its ultra-compact ACUSON X150 ultrasound system for obstetrics (OB) imaging.

May 17, 2010 - New technologies in ultrasound are designed to improve efficiency and image quality in obstetrics and gynecological (OB/GYN) imaging. The latest acoustic technologies are able to deliver clearer 2-D, Doppler and 3-D/4-D imaging for many demanding requirements in maternal-fetal medicine.

May 17, 2010 - The world of genomics and medical imaging are joining forces in an effort to provide early detection diagnostics to patients with cardiovascular disease.

May 17, 2010 - The Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo., has commissioned a proton beam accelerator specially designed for the Monarch250 Proton Therapy System the center is currently installing.
