September 9, 2008 - Siemens Healthcare has received FDA 510(k) market clearance for the Ysio, a new generation digital radiography system with a wireless detector (wi-D) for maximum positioning flexibility.

September 9, 2008 - Merge Healthcare today announced that Metro Imaging, a St. Louis-area network of five freestanding centers, is among several imaging centers successfully using its RIS and PACS to help streamline operations in response to Medicare reimbursement declines associated with the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.

September 9, 2008 – Aptium Oncology, which develops hospital-based outpatient cancer centers, will inaugurate the Aptium Oncology GI Cancer Consortium (AGICC), a consortium that aims to speed the process of finding and efficiently testing active new compounds for patients with gastrointestinal cancers, enabling useful drugs to reach the market more quickly.

September 9, 2008 – Nucletron will introduce its latest innovation in image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for cervical cancer at the ESTRO 2008 conference in Gothenburg, Sweden Sept. 14-18 and one week later, at ASTRO 2008 in Boston, Sept. 21-25, 2008.

September 8, 2008 - A new medtech spin-off from CSA Medical Inc. is reportedly about to give cancer patients and their caregivers a reason to breathe more easily.

ZOLL will feature CodeNet, reportedly the first software system that allows hospital teams to better document, manage and review a cardiac arrest event and resuscitation information. CodeNet brings new improvements and efficiencies in data capture, event time synchronization and case and aggregate reporting. The software time stamps logged events and synchronizes these times with defibrillator data, aiming to provide clinicians with a complete and accurate timeline of an entire cardiac arrest event.

ZOLL will feature its array of defibrillators at TCT 2008.

The R Series offers smart tools to help clinicians improve CPR performance. It also features both ZOLL's Real CPR Help and patented See-Thru CPR technology. See-Thru CPR helps minimize interruptions in CPR - one of the key recommendations of the American Heart Association's guidelines for advanced cardiac life support - by extracting CPR artifact and showing a "filtered" ECG on the defibrillator screen. It allows rescuers to see organized cardiac rhythm without stopping compressions.

Siemens Healthcare has expanded its digital radiography portfolio with the addition of Ysio, a new generation digital radiography system with a wireless detector (wi-D) for maximum positioning flexibility.

Nucletron has developed its latest innovation in image-guided adaptive brachytherapy for cervical cancer, Oncentra GYN.

Oncentra GYN combines the intracavitary and interstitial technique for tumors with unfavorable topography. Oncentra GYN supports fully the GEC-ESTRO recommendations for gynecologic brachytherapy as well as all clinical protocols.

September 8, 2008 - DMS Imaging said another mobile unit has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in digital mammography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

In partnership with rural hospitals, this particular route provides digital mammography mobile services to women in Cooperstown, Grand Forks, Mc Ville, Northwood, Valley City and Wahpeton in North Dakota; and Ada and Morris in Minnesota.
