May 5, 2010 - SenoRx Inc. announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with C. R. Bard at a price of $11 per share, or approximately $213 million in the aggregate.

May 5, 2010 - Automated links to equipment service providers are helping U.S. hospitals control the costs of maintenance and repair for their diagnostic imaging equipment.

IMV Ltd. surveyed 401 radiology and biomedical engineering managers from a bed-size adjusted sample of hospitals throughout located throughout the United States.

May 5, 2010 – A new high-definition intravascular imaging system gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance today. LightLab Imaging Inc. said its C7-XR optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system and companion C7 Dragonfly OCT imaging catheter are now available on the U.S. market.

May 4, 2010 - Researchers have developed a computer-based system that can automatically track patient-specific radiation dose exposure on every patient that receives a computed tomography (CT) scan, according to a study to be presented at American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego.

May 4, 2010 - Currently, using conventional imaging modalities to distinguish between acute and chronic aortic dissection (AD) for surgical risk evaluation is not possible. However, in a recent study, researchers were able to use fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to detect reparatory hypermetabolism in the lacerated aortic wall of acute AD.

April 4, 2010 - Each year, Mayo Clinic neurologists and neurosurgeons care for more than 2,200 patients with brain and nervous system tumors, including many with acoustic neuromas, noncancerous tissue growth that arises on a cranial nerve leading from the brain to the inner ear. Treatment options include observation, surgical removal and stereotactic radiosurgery.

April 3, 2010 - Every year a multidisciplinary panel representing engineering, medicine, human-factors technology, industrial design, manufacturing, and other healthcare fields select the winner of The Medical Device Excellence Award (MDEA).

May 3, 2010 – A point-of-care ultrasound system for use by emergency medical services (EMS) is being developed in collaboration between SonoSite Inc. and Physio-Control Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, the Physio-Control sales organization will assist in introducing SonoSite’s products to the EMS market.

May 3, 2010 - Computed radiography (CR) is generally used for standard X-ray imaging. However, CR has been gaining ground with its expansion application for mammography.

May 3, 2010 - Wide-bore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems are designed to meet patient demand for a more comfortable scanning experience. In particular, they accommodate patients who are usually difficult to scan, such as obese, claustrophobic, elderly or very young patients, or those who are in pain and require a larger imaging system.
