Vital Images' Vitrea software produces 2D, 3D and 4D images of human anatomy from CT (computed tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance) image data. The system addresses specialists’ needs through various software options for cardiac, colon, vessel probe and other applications. Vitrea 4.0 reportedly utilizes an intuitive clinical workflow and automatic settings to improve speed and simplicity.

Ziehm Vision FD, Ziehm Imaging’s latest suite of fully digital radiology products, is said to incorporate cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art design to offer fully digital imaging with distortion-free images. Because the flat panel detector is insensitive to magnetic fields, it can work where strong magnetic fields are present, such as near a MRI site, thus eliminating distorted images that normally result on image intensifier systems.

November 13, 2007 — A team of scientists from the University of California San Francisco has identified distinct molecular markers that predict whether or not a woman is likely to develop subsequent invasive cancer after initial diagnosis with a noninvasive form of early breast cancer.

The research, published by Cell Press in the November issue of Cancer Cell, provides critical information that can be used to determine whether a woman should receive more or less aggressive therapy.

November 13, 2007 - Montefiore Medical Center in New York, N.Y., recently selected the Picis CareSuite perioperative information system to manage the clinical, administrative and financial functions of the surgical care environment at each of its hospitals.

With the availability of multiple approaches to Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) technology and growing clinical experience in the field, Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (CARTI) decided in 2006 to review the options and determine which would work best in their environment.

Zwanger Pesiri is a progressive radiology practice that has served New York’s Long Island for 55 years. With a corporate charter to utilize advanced technology to improve patient care and efficiency, Zwanger employs a multitude of diagnostic imaging modalities. These include 128 and 64-slice CTs, 3.0 and 1.5 Tesla MRIs, ultrasound, digital mammography, Dexa, PET/CT, nuclear medicine and DR/CR.

In 2005, the Breast Center at Sequoia Imaging, part of the Kaweah Delta Health Care District in Visalia, CA, transitioned to a completely digital facility with the installation of two Hologic Selenia systems. Shortly after, they also began providing the MammoPad breast cushion to every patient. This “high-tech, soft- touch” combination proved to be a powerful one, as Sequoia quickly learned.
Increased Capacity

As the leading academic medical center in the state of Florida, Shands at UF looked to purchase a suite of CT systems that could be used for a variety of procedures.

November 13, 2007 – A study by an international team of cardiac imaging specialists, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins, concluded that sophisticated computed tomography (CT) scans of the heart and its surrounding arteries are almost as reliable and accurate as more invasive procedures to check for blockages.

Fujifilm Medical Systems USA Inc. announced the availability of its customizable Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR) Mobile digital x-ray package, which can be provided as a complete Fujifilm acquisition-to-archive solution – including Fujifilm’s CR, PACS and managed services – reportedly delivering hospital grade image quality with the flexibility and reliability demanded in a mobile imaging environment.
