GE Healthcare has launched the first site using Centricity Web, allowing radiologists to access both an EMR and PACS online.
Radiologists using the beta site www.urologyofcolorado.com have reportedly been successful in sending EMR orders into the PACS, using a DICOM modality worklist and sending links to results and images back into the EMR system. Centricity Web is now commercially available.

Agfa HealthCare demonstrated its IMPAX data center, a real-time database of all structured and unstructured data from different clinical sources that presents a unified view of a single patient and leverages a central bank of transactional and data services, which can permit an enterprise level of data and clinical content management.
IMPAX Data Center provides a set of demographic data along with a number that uniquely identifies each patient throughout the continuum of care, meaning the IMPAX data center can manage multiple patient ID domains.

GE Healthcare introduced its new LOGIQ i compact ultrasound system, a 10-pound system with volume imaging, designed to provide portability and high-performance ultrasound imaging and wireless capability for radiology, vascular, neonatal, breast and musculoskeletal imaging for areas with constricted space, such as the ICU or NICU.

The new Innova 3131IQ, a digital flat panel Biplane Imaging System introduced by GE Healthcare, covers the full size of the patient's lateral and frontal anatomy simultaneously for a variety of diagnostic and interventional procedures. These procedures can reportedly be done with fewer X-ray images and contrast injections, both significant benefits for the patient. The system is indicated for use in cardiovascular imaging, diagnostic and interventional procedures.

A new photon-counting full-field digital mammography system, Sectra MicroDose Mammography, reportedly increases throughput and minimizes radiation exposure. The system can now be equipped with a stereotactic add-on for clinical examinations.
The system features the latest developments within photon-counting technology. Photon-counting is a technology for better images, lower dose and fundamental advantages in several advanced applications, such as contrast mammography, dual-energy and tomosynthesis.

Merge Healthcare has just released Merge Mammo version 7.0, a multi-modality, vendor-neutral digital mammography workstation application. The system enables organizations to display and read images from different systems simultaneously (digital mammography, ultrasound, MR, CR, etc.) and to read all breast studies on a single workstation, regardless of which vendor's acquisition device is used to secure the images.

B-CAD 1.0 is designed to assist in the analysis and reporting of lesions in breast ultrasound. The system is the first commercially available CAD solution designed to assist radiologists in the analysis of breast lesions using ultrasound images. Positioned to reduce the time required by a radiologist to analyze and report the findings of breast ultrasound images, B-CAD provides tools for automatic image analysis, segmentation and classification. The system also provides a standardized reporting structure, as defined by the ACR BI-RADS Ultrasound Lexicon Classification Form.

Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) offers a combination of image quality, versatility and practicality, and according to the company, is expected to see rapid adoption in the U.S.
FCRm provides 18-by-24-cm and 24-by-30-cm fields-of-view, 50-micron pixel sampling and Fuji's patented dual-side reading technology.
