The IMPAX MA3000 Diagnostic Station is DICOM compliant and supports rapid and simultaneous display of multimodality images. It incorporates a data management system that automatically routes relevant data (e.g., DR mammography, breast MRI, ultrasound) based on a variety of user-definable criteria including modality, patient and referring physician. Relevant prior exams can be pre-fetched from the archive management system and sent automatically to the IMPAX MA3000 station. Radiology results from the RIS can be displayed simultaneously when available.

The MAMMOMAT NovationDR with syngo MammoReport is a full-field digital mammography system from Siemens Medical Solutions that is gaining momentum in the marketplace. Designed to meet the demands of modern mammography practices, the system provides digital screening, diagnosis and stereotactic biopsy capabilities all in one system.

With the iLab Ultrasound Imaging System physicians can see images inside the heart and inside coronary and peripheral arteries to assist with diagnosis.
The system can be directly installed into the cardiac cath lab or radiology suite, allowing physicians to incorporate intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) technology into their procedures immediately. Reflected sound waves create a cross-sectional image from within the vessel or heart to aid in visualizing vessel and heart structure. IVUS technology also provides physicians with a better understanding of blocked vessels.

The next-generation Visiflex Delivery System from Endologix is FDA approved to be marketed for use with the Powerlink system for the minimally invasive treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Full U.S. commercialization is anticipated this fall.

Varian Medical Systems Inc. has received FDA clearance that permits the use of the company’s Trilogy linear accelerators on an expanded range of medical conditions. The clearance also marks the introduction of Varian’s new Trilogy Tx Image-Guided Radiosurgery (IGRS) model designed specifically for surgeons.
The Trilogy and Trilogy Tx machines now can be used for stereotactic radiosurgery as well as precision radiotherapy for lesions, tumors and conditions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated.

Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) has received clearance from the FDA to be sold in the U.S. The solution offers a combination of image quality, versatility and practicality, and according to the company, is expected to see rapid adoption in the U.S.
FCRm provides 18-by-24 cm and 24-by-30 cm fields-of-view, 50-micron pixel sampling, and Fuji’s patented dual-side reading technology.
For a site that performs both general radiography and mammography exams, the FCR reader provides multipurpose capability and subsequent cost savings.

Barco has received 510(k) premarket clearance from the FDA for CARDIAMETRIX, a suite for structural and functional analysis of contrast-enhanced cardiac studies. It is available with the company’s software suite for advanced visualization and analysis VOXAR 3D.
The VOXAR 3D CARDIAMETRIX suite has many features including integrated clinical applications for coronary artery vessel analysis, calcium scoring, 4-D cardiac analysis and left ventricular functional analysis. The suite assesses multiphase studies using up to six phases to present 2-D, 3-D and 4-D images of the heart.

The Brachytherapy C-arm Table from Biodex is ideal for image-guided procedures. The narrow Fiberesin tabletop is cantilevered to accommodate portable or ceiling suspended C-arms. Radiolucent areas are free of cross members, allowing full fluoroscopic visualization and unobstructed C-arm positioning. Functional design provides complete access with reduced radiation exposure to clinicians. Patient comfort and stability are assured by two-inch thick table padding and a pair of adjustable straps with Velcro hook and loop fastening.

Kodak plans to exhibit its newest version of CARESTREAM PACS and CARESTREAM RIS and its multimodality KODAK CARESTREAM Mammography Workstation. Mammography-specific tools for Kodak’s RIS/PACS solution expedite scheduling and patient communication in addition to other functions required for fully featured review and management of mammography screening and diagnostic exams. Kodak’s mammography workstation provides efficient review of mammographic studies from ultrasound, MRI and FFDM (full-field digital mammography) systems as well as other digital imaging modalities used for breast imaging.

The IMPAX MA3000 Diagnostic Station reportedly improves mammography workflow through multimodality breast imaging displays. The station is DICOM compliant and supports rapid and simultaneous display of multimodality images. It incorporates a data management system that automatically routes relevant data (e.g. DR mammography, breast MRI, ultrasound) based on a variety of user-definable criteria including modality, patient and referring physician. Relevant prior exams can be pre-fetched from the archive management system and sent automatically to the IMPAX MA3000 station.
