Royal Philips Electronics introduced today several new ultrasound technologies and products designed to enhance the clinical value of volumetric imaging, provide new tools for interventional procedures, shorten exam times and facilitate pediatric echo, as part of its Vision 2007 and Performance 2007 ultrasound system and quantification software enhancements.

The AURORA 1.5T Dedicated Bilateral Breast MRI System with patented RODEO fat and ductal tissue suppression technology offers fully integrated biopsy capabilities, automatic individualized PATIENT SHIM for ease of use and a DICOM compatible physician workstation which allows 3-D reconstructive views.

Berchtold Corp. has announced the introduction of the ChromoView Dual Flat-Panel (DFP) monitor mount and arm, a system that supports big images in a small space.

Sunnex introduced the Celestial Star MRI Surgical Light. It features MRI compatibility; improved flexibility and reach; and a space-saving design, which meet the demands of the MRI surgical suite.
The light is certified by GE Healthcare and Siemens Medical Solutions for use with their MRI solutions. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has also installed the lights in its intraoperative MRI suite at its headquarters in Maryland.

The ME551i2 digital mammography LCD monitor from Totoku has a 21.3-inch, 5 megapixel DICOM-calibrated diagnostic display with an 11.9-bit grayscale palette and 750 cd/m2 brightness. Furthermore, it has a luminance equalizer to achieve highly accurate luminance uniformity across the screen and the capability to simultaneously display 2,048 shades of gray (11-bit) to realize smoother and precise grayscale display.

Calypso(R) Medical Technologies Inc. received FDA clearance for the Calypso 4D Localization System. The system utilizes proprietary electromagnetic technology in conjunction with implanted Beacon(R) transponders in the prostate. The product was designed to provide tumor location information during external beam radiation therapy without adding ionizing radiation.

At ASTRO in early November, Kodak will show enhancements to a dosimetry package for the 2000RT CR plus system, a CR system for radiation oncology. This feature, which is optional, allows physicists to perform a range of beam and IMRT QA procedures along with the 2000RT’s ability to capture portal localization, verification and simulation images.

Designed to help streamline the charting of vital signs data into the EMR, the integriti vital signs device collects NIBP, SpO2, temperature and pulse data, provides customizable patient-specific monitoring profiles and eliminates manual transcription.
The Windows-based application allows clinicians to collect, verify and upload data into an HIS system with the click of a button. The integriti is the next step to providing mobile solutions for patient documentation and medication administration.

The Mega Power Electrosurgical Generator is simple on the outside, but advanced on the inside, with preset power mode settings, large displays and push button controls.
The Mega Power features an advanced cutting effect (ACE) mode for scalpel-like cutting and reduced scarring, and Constant Control Technology that automatically adjusts power as tissue types change for high-quality tissue effect at low settings.

IMPRESS Scan is a tool for hospitals and free-standing surgery centers to track surgical instruments and sets anywhere in the work cycle, from decontamination and assembly to sterilization, the OR and the patient.
The real-time program makes it easier to maintain instrumentation, streamline processing, increase productivity and decrease instrument replacement costs. The system helps drive standardization of instrument sets and tracks all aspects of instrument repairs and sterilization history.
