Fujifilm Medical Systems will showcase its Full Field Digital Mammography system, Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm). The FCRm multiple-reader offering presents mammography providers with various equipment configuration combinations. The centrally located Clearview-CS, multiplate reader serves several rooms, while the Clearview-1m, single plate reader can be installed right in the exam room.

The KODAK DIRECTVIEW Classic and Elite Computed Radiography Systems are compact, floor standing, single-cassette CR systems that can reportedly help improve workflow, productivity and patient throughput.
The systems, offering a modular design, are significantly smaller than other DIRECTVIEW single-cassette systems and reportedly incorporate the latest generation of CR software from Carestream Health. These systems use existing rigid cassettes to support general radiography exams, long-length imaging and dental applications as well as mammography exams.

Agfa HealthCare’s DX-S reportedly fills the gap in the current range of Digital Radiography Solutions by providing a unique combination of image quality, speed and flexibility that exceed traditional CR solutions.

Confirma’s next-generation product for breast MRI includes a new customizable BI-RADS-centric user interface that accommodates a variety of user experience levels. Additional CADstream enhancements include improved 3D renderings and tools for morphology reporting.

The Philips Step and Shoot Cardiac solution has reportedly been shown to save up to 80 percent of the dose in a cardiac exam. As the newest cardiac imaging innovation for the Philips Brilliance CT 64-channel scanner, it provides high quality CT images at low radiation dose. An axial prospective ECG-gated acquisition technique reportedly achieves full heart coverage within a short breath-hold.

NDS Surgical Imaging will showcase its newly FDA-cleared AXIS V display intended for mammography and similar high-resolution images. AXIS V can be used by radiologists for reading and interpreting digital mammograms. Designed specifically for use in digital mammography and PACS workstations, the AXIS V product reportedly features industry’s best ambient light adaptability and delivers the highest quality diagnostic image.

The CereTom is a compact, lightweight, portable, high-speed, battery and wall powered multislice CT scanner optimized for scanning anatomy that can be imaged in the 25cm field of view, primarily head and neck, according to its manufacturer.
The system, acquiring eight slices per revolution, reportedly combines portability with detail and provides effective and flexible CT imaging at the point of care. According to its manufacturer, it is optimized for use in operating rooms, emergency departments, radiology departments, intensive care units and more.

Building on the foundation of GE Healthcare’s CT platform, the LightSpeed VCT XT is reportedly capable of capturing images of the heart and coronary arteries in as few as five heartbeats. With SnapShot Pulse, the LightSpeed VCT XT reduces a patient’s X-ray exposure time by up to 70 percent for diagnostic cardiac scans, using a process called prospective triggered gating.

The Toshiba Aquilion CT line’s product platform design reportedly allows for all customers to benefit from Toshiba’s Quantum Advantage, delivering the industry’s thinnest slice thickness at 0.5-millimeter isotropic slices, whether using an Aquilion 4-slice, 8-slice, 16-slice, 32-slice or 64-slice.

Siemens Medical Solutions received FDA 510(k) clearance for a 1.5 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that is reportedly more affordable, allowing providers to upgrade from low-field MRI systems or to add an MRI system for the first time.
