Biospace Med reported it has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the company’s EOS X-ray imager along with its new image workstation, sterEOS, which enables 3D skeletal reconstruction.

October 7, 2008 – The Medipattern Corp. will introduce enhancements to its B-CAD breast imaging computer aided detection (CAD) solution at RSNA 2008.

B-CAD v.1.3 is available in the U.S. and B-CAD v.2.3 is available globally. These are reportedly the first breast ultrasound CAD tools to provide advanced decision-making support for lesion analysis. Radiologists are able to document notes, patient history and lesion information, resulting in a thorough diagnosis and effective communication.

iCAD Inc. will officially launch several new CAD analysis and clinical decision support tools that work in combination with CT and MRI imaging modalities. The company will also showcase its SecondLook CAD system, which offers compatibility with Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) solutions – both digital radiography (DR) and computed radiography (CR). Highlighted will be the SecondLook Digital CAD for Fujifilm CR systems, which is the reportedly first and only CAD solution to receive FDA approval and is already installed in numerous sites.

October 6, 2008 - Doctors in Syracuse, NY, have deployed RapidArc radiotherapy technology from Varian Medical Systems.

A new weapon in the fight against cancer, RapidArc delivers a precise image-guided IMRT treatment in two minutes or less, which is two to eight times faster than was previously possible with conventional IMRT, said Varian.

October 6, 2008 - Quantum Medical Imaging has completed an installation of their DiRex Digital System, which includes a digitally integrated Quantum Radiographic system and AGFA DX-S CR system at Intermountain Orthopedics in Boise, ID.

EmpowerCTA injector system offers both ACIST’s patented extravasation detection accessory (EDA) and a saline chase. This CT injector features air embolism protection, on-the-fly flow rate manipulation and syringe loading and arming at the injector.

EmpowerMR injector system has multiple features created to cope with the problem of electrical interference in the magnetic field of the MR scanner, including a hydraulic control system instead of the shielded electrical control components used by most other MR injector systems.

Automated workflow enhancements and clinical applications for the Aquilion CT line are designed to reduce patient radiation dose, provide faster diagnosis and maximize patient comfort.
