Candelis will expand the capabilities of its ImageGrid PACS Appliance with the addition of an enhanced ImageGrid Web Viewer (IG Viewer) designed for general radiology applications. As a Web-enabled application residing on the ImageGrid appliance, the Web viewer reportedly allows radiologists to perform diagnostic reading from any workstation on a Local Area Network, Wide Area Network or remote workstations via a Virtual Private Network.

A works in progress, Toshiba’s 3T MR system is a new magnet design that combines a short bore with high homogeneity.
In addition, the new system features Toshiba’s patented Pianissimo technology, which substantially reduces noise, solving one of the primary concerns facing 3T imaging today, according to the company.

The Philips Panorama HFO is a high-field MR with active shielding designed for patients of all sizes. Its signal-to-noise performance is reportedly similar to a 1.5T cylindrical magnet.

Its features an open design for patient comfort and high field strength for speed and image quality.
Achieva XR can be simply and cost effectively upgraded from 1.5T to the Achieva 3.0T X-series, without forklift, just by ramping the magnet.

The recently released Hitachi Oasis reportedly features Hitachi's proprietary 1.2 Tesla vertical field magnet technology inclusive of high magnet homogeneity and higher order active shim, all in an open architecture magnet design that reportedly gives patients an unrestricted viewing angle.

The FDA cleared MRI system includes a high performance gradient system coupled with an 8-channel Radio Frequency (RF) system and Hitachi-designed RF coils, providing a platform for high performance imaging in a comfortable patient setting, according to the company.

The Aurora Imaging Technology 1.5T Dedicated Breast MRI System with Bilateral 3D SpiralRODEO is a fully integrated MRI system designed specifically for breast imaging.
The system creates an elliptical, homogenous field of view, providing coverage of both breasts, chest wall and axillae in a single bilateral scan, reportedly without compromise in contrast or resolution. Because of SpiralRODEO’s improved acquisition efficiency (Three times greater than traditional 3DFT reconstruction), resolution is reportedly increased along with a decrease in scan time for better dynamics.

The Signa HDx 3.0T’s XVRE volume-reconstruction engine ensures virtually real-time image generation. The XVRE is the enabler for new XV (expanded volume) Clinical Applications that utilize acceleration techniques such as ASSET and GEM. GEM is a hybrid acceleration technique that uses variable sampling to provide the fastest image acceleration.

Also featured at RSNA, GE Healthcare’s breast MRI portfolio includes VIBRANT, for bilateral imaging system, BREASE, for breast spectroscopy and 8-Channel Breast Array, with CADstream integration.

The MEDRAD Stellant CT Injection System provides saline flush capabilities and protocol options.

The DualFlow upgrade enables simultaneous injection of contrast and saline while the XDS detects the start of an extravasation by directly sensing contrast media pooling under the skin and automatically stopping injection until a clinician can examine the patient.

The Spectris Solaris EP MR Injection System, also featured at RSNA, promises enhanced power management performance through longer battery life and an Integrated Continuous Battery Charger (iCBC) option.

Guerbet’s X-ray contrast agent, Oxilan (ioxilan), is a nonionic low-viscous and low-osmolar monomer.
Significant characteristics of contrast media such as ionicity, chemical structure, osmolality and viscosity have important influences on their efficacy and safety. This emphasis has been implemented in the development of Oxilan, whose chemical characteristics have resulted in high quality imaging with minimal side effects, according to its manufacturer.

GE Healthcare’s’ VISIPAQUE has an osmolality equal to that of blood, and is also the only contrast medium formulated with sodium and calcium in a ratio equivalent to blood, according to GE.

The system is FDA approved for use in children over one year of age and is approved for a broad range of diagnostic procedures requiring intravascular contrast, such as coronary angiography, CT, IVP and venography.

EmpowerCTA injector offers both E-Z-EM’s patented extravasation detection accessory (EDA) and a saline chase. Modular CT injector features air embolism protection, on-the-fly flow rate manipulation, easy syringe loading and arming at the injector. IRiS software tracks: patient ID, creatinine values, GFR, consumable utilization, total contrast filled/injected/wasted, type of contrast, EDA activation status and number of EDA-identified extravasations.
