GE Healthcare released the latest version of Centricity Enterprise, an integrated software suite of clinical and financial applications that is designed to improve patient care and increase collaboration between clinicians, reportedly providing a better overall healthcare environment.

UniWeb PACS, a multimodality Web-based solution from EBM Technologies, has received FDA clearance. EBM UniWeb can reportedly store, communicate, process and display images within the system and/or across a computer network at distributed locations.
EBM Technologies reports that the system can display multivendor and multimodality images including FFDM and can be used for interpretation in a primary diagnostic setting.

NovaPACS 6.6 by NovaRad offers embedded MIP (maximum intensity projection) and MPR (multiplanar reconstruction) tools to build and view 3D images directly from the PACS workstation.
The MIP and MPR tools included in NovaPACS reportedly eliminate the need for radiologists to perform post-processing reconstructions from the modalities and for technologists to redo reconstructions specified by the radiologists. Radiologists can reportedly reconstruct any study they want in any format they want right from NovaPACS.

The EnSite System Version 7 software and EnSite Fusion Registration Module are new products designed to help physicians create more detailed images of the heart for navigating during electrophysiology (EP) procedures that treat complex arrhythmias.
The system provides 3D cardiac models that reportedly help physicians diagnose and treat many abnormal heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation.

Medrad Inc. introduced at the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) Annual Meeting the XDS, a new extravasation detector technology for the Stellant CT Injection System that, for the first time, directly senses extravasation pooling under the skin during a CT procedure.

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.
