UltraSPECT has been granted the patent for “Efficient Single Photon Emission Imaging.” According to the patent, shorter scanning time and clinically diagnostic images can be obtained by resolution recovery reconstruction methods such as the Wide Beam Reconstruction (WBR) technology.

Siemens recently unveiled TruePoint technology for its Biograph family of hybrid PET/CT systems. Siemens anticipates that the new TruePoint PET/CT platform will open the door to molecular imaging for oncology by adding 33 percent more axial volume coverage to its PET/CT scanners and with features that automatically adjust reconstruction and scatter correction algorithms to individual patient size.

NumaServer is a tool that is capable of fast, secure transfer of large PET, PET/CT, new SPECT/CT and related image data over a network or the Internet using any high-speed connection.

Siemens Medical Solutions has introduced syngo BLADE, the newest Tim (Total imaging matrix) technology-powered MRI software. The technology is capable of imaging in neurological and orthopedic procedures. In cases of severe movement, syngo BLADE motion correction application allows facilities to increase patient throughput and decrease costs.

Hitachi's SceptreC Cardiac PET system designed specifically for cardiac PET, and may serve as an as an alternative solution to SPECT or PET/CT for myocardial perfusion and viability studies. The SceptreC utilizes both Rubidium-82 for myocardial perfusion and 18-FDG for myocardial viability procedures.

GE Healthcare announced that they have received FDA clearance for the Voluson i, a 4-D compact ultrasound system designed specifically for women’s healthcare, including obstetric, gynecological and other clinical applications. This new compact system allows clinicians to make real-time diagnoses by being able to provide 4-D imaging wherever the patient may be located.

TeraRecon aims to reinforce its emphasis on enterprise workflow and diagnostic tools in its Aquarius line of diagnostic workstations and enterprise-wide 3D servers. The Aquarius Workstation version 3.5 offers protocol-based workflow tools that automatically render 3D images based on the selected study type.

With Liftem Mark IV Portable Lift , moving a patient is as easy as pushing a button. Its patented lift design is capable of lifting and moving patients weighing up to 700 pounds without physically moving the lift. The Liftem device is portable, comes with an optional scale for weighing patients and has an integrated safety-control system that prevents misuse.

The latest enhancements to Kodak’s film-based mammography CAD System include: new options for viewing CAD results in portrait or landscape mode that allows radiologists to configure the system to specific hanging preferences; the ability to save scanned mammograms as DICOM files so as films are digitized for CAD, they can also be sent to an archive or any vendor’s PACS system; and the ability to save log files from the system and report the number of markers per film and per case.

The first FDA-cleared chest X-ray CAD system to assist in detecting early-stage lung cancer, RapidScreen is 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, providing a virtual second pair of eyes for the radiologist. The system offers film and filmless solutions as well as an upgrade path for those seeking to evolve to filmless in the future.
