August 2, 2021 — At AHRA 2021 – the Annual Meeting of The Association for Medical Imaging Management, the TIMS Medical division of Foresight Imaging announced the release of TIMS Connect, a major enhancement to the TIMS Medical Video Platform, a collection of state-of-the-art hardware and software products that allow medical professionals to

July 30, 2021 — Volpara Health, a global health technology software leader providing an integrated breast care platform for the delivery of personalized breast care, has received FDA clearance for the latest version of its key science algorithm, Volpara Imaging Software (VIS 3.2).

July 30, 2021 — According to ARRS’ American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), the resources required to warm iohexol 350 to body temperature before injection for computed tomography (CT) may not be warranted, given the lack of observed practical benefit.

July 29, 2021 — New data released today by the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) found that the medical technology (medtech) industry created more, better-paying jobs than the manufacturing sector overall. AdvaMed commissioned the new economic research report by Macro Policy Advisors to study the industry’s jobs footprint and economic impact on states, and the results were overwhelmingly positive for Americans.

The report determined that:

July 29, 2021 — Volpara Health, a global health technology software leader providing an integrated breast care platform for the delivery of personalized breast care, has signed an agreement with Invitae Corporation, a leader in medical genetics, to bring Invitae's genetic testing services to Volpara's customers in the United States. 

Images, or a digital twin mitral valve of a patient, created from cardiac ultrasound that were used to perform a virtual surgical procedure to test how the intervention would impact the patient prior to actually performing the procedure. The right image shows color coding for sheer stresses on the valve leaflets before and after the virtual surgery. The left image shows the model quantitation of leaflet coaptation at peak systole prior to the the virtual surgery.

Outside of medicine, computer-generated virtual twins of real machines like cars or airplanes have been used in engineering to allow modeling in a virtual environment. This is used for assessment of aerodynamics and to identify areas of sheer stresses and the performance of the machines under various conditions. In the past couple years, several medical companies have developed similar "digital twin" technology to computer model a patient's heart or other organs for use in a virtual test environment.
