Artificial intelligence (AI) has found a unique niche to help automate the activation of acute care teams for pulmonary embolism (PE), aortic dissections and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and allow them access to imaging and immediate communications.
In February 2021, Guerbet announced the launch of OptiProtect 3S (Smart Service Solutions), a range of technical services for its injection solutions. OptiProtect 3S is designed to support imaging centers in the daily use and protection of their injection solutions.

Contrast media injectors are used to inject contrast agents to enhance the blood and perfusion in tissues. There have been several recent advances with contrast media injector technology, including cutting costs by reducing contrast waste and automated data collection for the dose a patient receives.

January 19, 2022 — For the first time, researchers led by a team from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center used prostate cancer patients’ DNA to create a model that appears to predict who will have side effects from radiation.   

January 19, 2022 — Recent advances in brain imaging techniques facilitate accurate, high-resolution observations of the brain and its functions. For example, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a widely used noninvasive imaging technique that employs near-infrared light (wavelength >700 nm) to determine the relative concentration of hemoglobin in the brain, via differences in the light absorption patterns of hemoglobin.
