NightRays Tracker (NRT) is a color- coded, online, dynamic patient list that clinicians and radiologists can use to access status updates on their cases. NRT information includes images, study status, patient demographics and paperwork, study alerts, reporting accuracy and more. Through this system, NightRays clients can also run stats at anytime on after-hours radiology activities. Clients can use as little or as much of it as they want. Radiologist clients of NightRays have the opportunity to use the same system the radiologists use for their own work.

Medison America has announced the first comprehensive upgrade for the Accuvix XQ. Prestige Edition expands the capabilities of the system into the cardiology field.
The upgrade is organized into four major enhancement areas. The biggest addition is 3-D eXtended imaging technology, a collection of comprehensive 3-D image processing technology that incorporates CT- and MRI-like functions into ultrasound. Also included in the upgrade are Multi-Slice View, Oblique View and VolumeCT.

The ScanX 14 In-Counter unit is a CR system featuring reusable phosphor storage plates (PSP). The plates are inserted directly into the scanner, which produces high-resolution images and erases the plate for reuse. This entire read/erase cycle is completed in 55 seconds for a 14-by-17-inch plate.
With the system there is no need for film, chemicals, film storage area, film duplication, processors or a dark room. It was designed to load and operate in normal room lighting, and the system features a patented transport system.

RapidScreen is a chest X-Ray CAD system that can assist the radiologist in detecting early-stage lung cancer. The system is a powerful cancer detection tool designed to quickly identify solitary pulmonary nodules between 9 and 30 mm and other suspicious nodules on the original standard AP/PA chest X-ray. This provides a virtual second pair of eyes for the radiologist. RapidScreen offers film and filmless solutions as well as an upgrade path for those seeking to change from film to filmless in the future.

RadWhere Suite, from Commissure Inc., now has a new component. RadWhere Workflow Orchestrator enables radiology departments to connect multiple PACS, RIS, 3-D advanced visualization and teleradiology information into a central worklist.
Developed with .NET 2.0 framework and Web-based communication, RadWhere Workflow Orchestrator can incorporate any combination of legacy and Web-based systems, while controlling workflow with bidirectional communication.

syngo Colonography with PEV (Polyp Enhanced Viewing) software is the first FDA 510(k) cleared and commercially available enhanced colon viewing technology.
PEV is the latest addition to Siemens’ portfolio of computer enhancement tools. An optional add-on to the syngo Colonography application, PEV is designed as a second-reader tool for automated identification of lesions in the colon. It allows the radiologist to make a computer-assisted ‘second pass’ over the patient data, thus attempting to increase detection accuracy and reduce reading times.

The Vacora Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy System is a 100 percent self-contained vacuum assisted biopsy system. Everything has been integrated into the handpiece, including the world’s smallest biopsy vacuum, all tubing, fluid canister, battery power source and the biopsy needle. The entire system weighs one pound. The result is a self-contained biopsy system that provides handling and maneuverability during ultrasound, MRI and stereotactic biopsy procedures.

FlowPoint 6.1 is an integrated, Web-based RIS and PACS that enables healthcare enterprises to combine patient medical data and radiology images into one digital record to facilitate patient care, reductions in potential medical errors and lower administrative costs.

The REGIUS 370 from Konica Minolta is an upright digital radiography (DR) system that uses the most advanced phosphor detector available. The detector uses Cesium Bromide (CeBR) to produce a high level of detective quantum efficiency (DQE), which is comparable to flat-panel DR systems. However, it is compatible with almost any X-ray generator or tube, which many flat-panel systems are not. With the scanning mechanism and image detector integrated into one upright stand, the upright DR is capable of scanning 210 images per hour.

The CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale series is designed to deliver healthcare application performance, scalability, reliability and ease of use. The series offers full end-to-end 4 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) fibre channel technology, which provides quick retrieval times and enables fast disaster recovery of patient information and medical images.
