Kubtec has received approval to market its XPERT 40 digital specimen radiography device from the FDA. The 510(k) premarket approval notification adds to the CE, CSA, Health Canada and CDRH certifications that have already been obtained for the device.

Hologic Inc. recently introduced two new second shape titanium breast biopsy markers, TriMark 2S and CeleroMark 2S, containing a unique “hourglass” shape to help clinicians mark and independently identify multiple biopsy sites in the same breast. The standard TriMark identifier is a cylinder-shaped titanium pellet.

Fifteen years ago, a CT scan of Nefertiti’s bust stored at Berlin’s Altes Museum, revealed that a second structure was hidden inside. This structure was presumed to be a cast of the subject’s face, but the image resolution was too poor to be conclusive. With recent advances in CT scanning, researchers called for a repeat scan to document the structure within the bust. Results of the scan, which was conducted using a Siemens SOMATOM Sensation 64-Slice CT, are included in a National Geographic Channel television special.

Because a PACS is incomplete without advanced visualization tools, the newly released Radsuite Express by Emageon provides not only 3D but MPR, MIP and fusion software too.

Siemens Medical Solutions Ultrasound Division recently introduced the 5.0 release of their ACUSON Antares ultrasound platform, offering powerful innovations in five clinical application areas, including breast and OB/GYN imaging.

Standard Imaging announced at AAPM the final release of RAy Film Dosimetry Software, a 3D solution for radiation treatment planning that compares 2D and 3D image datasets as well as dose volume histograms.
RAy Film Dosimetry Software, developed by Agile Radiological Technologies Inc. (ART) and sold exclusively by Standard Imaging, addresses the need for medical physicists, dosimetrists and clinicians to measure dose delivery in treatment plans using both 2D and 3D image datasets.

Merge Creates Versatile 3D, 4D Imaging
Merge Healthcare’s 3D/4D Review provides comprehensive visualization for rapid and efficient everyday clinical workflow, along with a real-time editing tool you can use in combination with standard visualization tools such as MIP, MinIP, MPR, 3D VRT and Interactive 4D Image Review.

Toshiba has announced a complete package of post-processing 3D and 4D software solutions for MR, CT, ultrasound and vascular X-ray modalities. Toshiba’s post-processing 3D and 4D software solutions can reportedly help provide increased speed and advanced analysis and display capabilities, resulting in better diagnostic accuracy and improved patient outcomes across all modalities.

TeraRecon’s AQPlaque suite of vascular analysis tools for the Aquarius product family enables researchers to investigate and evaluate a range of parameters from CT or MR images of vascular structures including coronary arteries, as a standard feature from standalone Aquarius Workstations or the AquariusNET thin-client software.

Varian Medical Systems’ new Smart Segmentation, a "smart" radiotherapy treatment planning tool, is designed to enable clinicians to significantly reduce the amount of time needed to create sophisticated treatment plans for advanced treatments like intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT).
