GE will bring to RSNA its Innova 4100 flat panel digital detector that reportedly offers the industry’s largest field of view for vascular and interventional imaging, delivering 40 percent more area than conventional 15.5-inch round intensifiers. The system will reportedly provide a larger view of anatomy in a single run with a single contrast injection to reduce contrast and radiation dose without sacrificing image clarity.

Ultrasonix will highlight its Sonix OP Smart Ultrasound system that includes high-performance transducers and fundamental software features, providing the flexibility to address a variety of clinical applications. The system’s open PC architecture reportedly allows for rapid advancements through software updates to protect your investment.

Also featured will be the Sonix CEP that provides emergency medicine practitioners with high-performance imaging in a compact, portable system that reportedly boots up in seconds and runs on rechargeable battery.

The PC-based Telemed LogicScan 128 ultrasound imaging system features digital Doppler multibeam processing, which reportedly increases frame rate during color and Power Doppler imaging and the novel hybrid signal processing module, for improving sensitivity.

The ultrasound scanner has been developed as a compact, lightweight color system for applications in obstetrics and gynecology, general and musculoskeletal imaging, vascular access and others. It easily connects to any Windows based PC using USB interface.

The HI VISION 5500 fully digital ultrasound system reportedly delivers the latest generation of signal processing technology, sophisticated transducer design and a host of features and options for advanced imaging capabilities across a wide range of clinical situations. The 5500’s electronic architecture incorporates advanced circuit designs optimized for efficiency and function.

The MSK Extreme with v-SPEC, provides high quality imaging of the hand, wrist, elbow, foot, ankle and knee.

SceptreP3 is a hybrid PET/CT system that integrates the “Power of Three” suite of differentiating capabilities. It features Dual Attenuation Correction (DAC Technology), the only solution that allows the combination of both CT and sealed source attenuation correction to effectively image patients with metal implants.

The Hitachi CXR 16 is a multislice CT scanner that reportedly combines power with ease-of-use and patient-friendly design. The X-ray generator delivers optimal power for high image quality, while the operator's console establishes an efficient environment for acquisition, reconstruction and post-processing.

ICRco Inc.’s iCR2600's patented design incorporates a true flat scan path, a precise scan mechanism, and protective cassettes to produce over 300,000 high resolution images per plate. iCRco imaging plates are fixed to a rigid back panel. Unlike most CR products, the iCR2600 uses no rollers to transport the plate across the scan head. A positive traction drive system ensures artifact free reproduction, according to the company.

At RSNA 2007 Siemens Medical Solutions will feature the AXIOM Aristos VX Plus, a single-detector radiography system with a 17 x 17-inch flat-panel digital detector.

The system combines a large format, tilting digital flat detector with a ceiling mount x-ray tube that are specifically designed to perform chest, skull and extremity examinations. It is reportedly highly flexible even for compact imaging rooms and is expandable to accommodate scoliotic spine and long leg examinations.

Cardinal Health launched a new technology to protect patients from blood transfusion errors in operating rooms, emergency departments and other critical care areas, where transfusions need to occur rapidly.
With the new Rapid Infusion feature, the CareFusion Transfusion Verification application can now accommodate transfusion workflow in any critical care environment. The maker says Rapid Infusion provides a systematic method of positive patient identification for matching blood components and efficient documentation, even during emergency situations.
