A study of more than 1,000 patients who underwent cardiac ultrasound with the Butterfly POCUS system, which turns smartphones into echo systems, was presented with positive results at the 2019 ASE meeting. 

There is a lot of talk about health disparities between the insured vs. uninsured, low-income vs. higher-income, rural vs. urban residents, and developed vs. developing world. In developed countries there also is growing tsunami of elderly patients that is growing as baby boomers retire and require more medical care.
A new study set out to learn more about breast health for Black women and to establish a better understanding of the breast screening landscape by analyzing mammograms, screening intervals and interpretation performance for Asian, Black and white women across health systems throughout the United States, with participation from Advocate Health Care, Sanford Health and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.

It is well established that there are racial disparities in healthcare that can have devastating implications for patient outcomes, and this has been shown to be particularly true for

Due to dangerous implications for years to come, facilities must increase efficiency and capacity for breast cancer care to recover from the impact of COVID-19. #COVID

The challenges faced by hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic have severely impacted cancer care.

As healthcare providers aim to deliver high-quality, coordinated care and improve patient outcomes they must find ways to not only change and adapt to highly technical processes and advances in technologies but also work toward an open, seamless flow of data between departments, providers, organizations and patients.

For some imaging departments, the virus uncovered a disconnect between the imaging technology they have and what they need to thrive

Healthcare is still reeling from the unforeseen disruption that COVID-19 has caused throughout the industry.

July 5, 2021 — Siemens Healthineers announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the Magnetom Free.Max, a new High-V magnetic resonance (MR) scanner that combines a 0.55 Tesla (0.55T) field strength with deep learning technologies and advanced image processing.

How new technology can aid in reducing radiation dose levels in pediatric patients

The Siemens Healthineers MRI system improves access and create a more comfortable and friendly atmosphere to reduce anxiety of your pediatric patients. Its 70 cm open bore and ultra-short magnet length improve access, and features such as the Illumination MoodLight or child-friendly scanner design by Dream Think Imagine create a more friendly atmosphere for your patients.
The Carestream Health DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System uses Carbon Nano Tube technology to deliver significantly reduced size and weight when compared to existing mobile X-ray systems.

Let’s face it, kids hurt themselves. They jump off structures that are too high, slip off monkey bars, or some are born with conditions such as hip dysplasia that cause them to need multiple diagnostic images taken.
Studies conducted by Mass General Hospital and University of Virginia have concluded that PixelShine, a disruptive technology from AlgoMedica, significantly improved the diagnostic quality of CT scans acquired at reduced radiation dose. Here, you can see before and after noise reduction is applied.

Computed tomography (CT) imaging has broad diagnostic application and is the imaging gold standard for many clinical indications. However, CT imaging exposes patients to higher doses of radiation than other methods.

Slowly, we are seeing our world come back into focus. The pandemic threw everyone a curve ball that most didn’t see coming, at least at the magnitude that it hit.
