Siemens’ new setting and monitoring tool, SMfit ACT Basics, automatically monitors the display and immediately indicates when its stability is no longer guaranteed. All display parameters can be set with the software, supported by a simple and intuitive interface.

The Radiance is National Display Systems’ (NDS) flagship product for surgical applications. It incorporates display imaging technologies such as Picture-Perfect Technology (PPT), which eliminates jagged edges; Image Lag Reduction Technology (ILR), which delivers lag-free imaging and fast video response (10 – 16 ms); proprietary factory color calibration, which guarantees reliable, consistent and realistic image reproduction; and Remote Functionality Control (RFC).

EIZO's RadiForce R23 is a 2MP 21.3-inch color TFT, dual-domain IPS LCD monitor with accurate display of color and grayscale MRI, PET and CR images, including image fusion and 3-D color rendering.
Product enhancements include enhanced brightness of 500 cd/m and a contrast ratio of 500:1.

Designed for use in areas such as radiology, cardiology, nuclear medicine (NM), positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), dermatology and the OR, Planar’s Dome E4c features a widescreen, 16:9 format that simplifies comparison studies by eliminating the image split associated with dual-head monitors, providing more screen space for multiple images. The Dome E4c, along with the other color displays in the Dome EX line (Dome E2c and E3c), enhances visualization of various color modalities, 2-D color imaging, image fusion and 3-D imaging.

Kodak has received clearance from the FDA for several specialized functions that enable radiologists to diagnose images generated by cardiac CT exams. These specialized functions include: cardiac review and analysis; cardiac cage removal in 3-D imaging; and cardiac calcium scoring. These features will be integrated into the next version of KODAK CARESTREAM PACS software, which is scheduled for commercial availability in mid-2006.

Mayo Clinic has announced it has developed a series of MRI devices that make it easier to diagnose injuries and diseases that affect wrists, forearms, elbows, hands and fingers. Mayo worked with IBM Engineering and Technology Services and IBM Design Consulting Services on this solution. With recent FDA approval, the group plans to market these devices to other medical centers nationwide.

Designed with one 8-by-8-inch floor mounted cardiac C-arm and one 12- by-16-inch ceiling mounted C-arm, the Infinix DP-i/FD2 vascular X-ray system from Toshiba America Medical Systems enables physicians to obtain the high-quality images needed to perform both detailed peripheral vascular work and coronary studies without compromise for more efficient, comprehensive patient care. In addition, the system’s design allows clinicians to perform both coronary and vascular studies on the same table without moving the patient-saving time and increasing overall patient comfort.
