Siemens’ syngo LungCARE CT with NEV technology features nodule enhanced viewing (NEV), a second reader tool based on highly sensitive and clinically validated algorithms. It is designed to improve visualization and workflow by providing automatic segmentation of physician detected nodules, multiple viewing options for questionable areas and customized reporting options.

R2’s Version 2.1 ImageChecker CT Lung CAD System for tracking lung nodule growth between current and prior multislice CT exams can now be sent to a PACS workstation for full enterprise accessibility without the need for R2’s dedicated CT CAD workstation. According to the manufacturer, with the new V2.1 software, R2’s Pulmonary Artery Patency Exam (PE) tool features a new algorithm to aide physicians in more effectively detecting intravascular filling defects, such as pulmonary embolism, during review of multislice CT exams.

Kodak has recently announced enhancements to its film-based mammography CAD system and the multimodality CARESTREAM Mammography Workstation.

Philips will be showcasing the EnVisor HD and HD11 XE systems, two new high-definition imaging ultrasound systems for the anesthesiology, at the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ (ASA) 2006 annual meeting, October 14-18 in Chicago, as it expands its line in regional anesthesiology.

TriPath Imaging Inc. and Ventana Medical Systems Inc. have announced that TriPath Imaging has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the Ventana Image Analysis System (VIAS) when used with tissues stained for p53. p53 is a tumor suppressor biomarker which is employed by pathologists as an adjunct to histopathology and is used to assist with diagnosis and the prognostic assessment of cancer.

GE Healthcare has introduced a new ultrasound system, LOGIQ P5, as it extends its next-generation portable line of compact technology with high performance and 4-D imaging.
The LOGIQ P5 provides high definition speckle resolution, CrossXBeam imaging and 4-D imaging. The portable system, which is currently being showcased at the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) Annual Conference, is half the weight and size of most console-based systems and is designed for radiology departments, private practices and specialized clinics.

The new SYN Triple and SYN Quad Monitor Mounting Solutions from RedRick Technologies will be showcased at this year’s RSNA meetings. These solutions allow mounting of heavy diagnostic monitors and have the capability to adjust display systems vertically and horizontally. They also tilt and swivel each monitor independently. According to the company, this is the first vertical/horizontal mounting solution of its kind.

MicroMaxx's purpose-built software and proprietary ASIC design yields high-quality images, while efficiently operating on either AC or battery power. The system boots up from "off" to scanning in under 15 seconds in a busy office, large hospital or critical care setting. This 7.7- pound device with a small footprint can get medical professionals into, and out of, tight spaces fast.

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.

The Precess MRI Patient Monitoring System features wireless ECG and SpO2. The wireless ECG and SpO2 technologies allow for shorter cable lengths, which can increase patient safety and throughput.
The system also utilizes wireless technology between the patient interface unit and MRI compatible color displays for added flexibility. Its large display and interface facilitates clinicians ability to safely and accurately monitor adult, pediatric and neonatal vital signs during all MRI procedures.
