The Reliance Endoscope Processing System (Reliance EPS), designed for GI departments, is a high-level disinfection system engineered to deliver consistent and repeatable results.
The system’s proprietary Reliance DG Dry Germicide Chemistry kills even the most challenging organisms. The Reliance EPS system also provides preprogrammed decontamination cycles to prevent the formation of biofilm inside the processor that can harbor microorganisms and recontaminate the scopes.

When you’re trying to navigate the vast wilderness of the Wild Wild Web there’s nothing more irritating than getting lost or not finding what exactly what you need. Okay, maybe losing your Internet connection or wireless signal tops the list. But there’s only so much Google, Yahoo! or Ask.com can do.



What inspired you to launch “Women’s Health and Imaging in a Digital Environment?”


VyMed Diagnostic Imaging Center radiologists work hard to cater to referring physicians’ needs. That’s why this six-month-old, growing PET/CT center was pleased to find a printing solution that worked just as hard.
At VyMed, the Sony UP-D77MD color dye sublimation printer, together with the FilmStation dry film imager, creates a specialized and cost-effective printing system.


In today’s world, it’s hard to understand that a regimen of surgical resection followed by radiation and chemotherapy – a procedure practiced in medicine for over 100 years – is still the standard of care in the treatment of breast cancer.
But amazing advancements may one day obviate the need for surgery at all thanks in part to emerging technologies such as cryoablation and radiofrequency heat and laser ablation – technologies that are not only catching cancer cells earlier, but obliterating them without the damaging effects of radiation and chemicals.



Adult obesity is on the rise. According to the International Obesity Task Force (May 2004), one quarter of the world’s population is overweight, 312 million of whom are obese. Obesity levels have reached all-time highs in the U.S. with 30 percent of the adult population 18 or older classified as obese.
The term “extremely obese” or morbidly obese is used to describe patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equivalent to 40 kg/m2 or greater than 35 kg/m2 with co-morbidities. Extremely obese patients can range from 250 or 350 pounds to 1,000 pounds.


Breast Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging has gained significant attention in the past three years resulting in many facilities increasing their number of patient scans by over 400 percent. This requires special attention to patient and physician workflow in order to accommodate the increase demand.


Among the array of clinicians that Outpatient Care Technology covers and reaches, oncologists arguably are the most computer-savvy – at least with their profession.
Why? They routinely use information systems to precisely target tumors and diseased tissue, shape radiation beams and deliver the optimal dose of radiation therapy.
But that’s not all. A growing number of radiation therapists also are plugging electronic health record capabilities into their IT systems at a seemingly faster clip than their counterparts in other clinical settings.
