May 5, 2021 — For patients with brain metastases, amino acid positron emission tomography (PET) can provide valuable information about the effectiveness of state-of-the-art treatments. When treatment monitoring with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is unclear, adding 18F-FET PET can help to accurately diagnose recurring brain metastases and reliably assess patient response.

When working with a vendor on project implementation, it is critical to focus on the actual execution of the implementation

You have selected a vendor. Congratulations. Most likely you conducted a formal selection process or perhaps a request for proposal (RFP). Now you have identified a vendor of choice. If you are diligent in your work, you have conducted a very careful contracting phase that has dissected the verbiage in your contract line-by-line to safeguard your organization from failure. You have also put in safeguards to ensure the vendor will be held accountable for milestones and timelines, and perhaps even resource accessibility.
Building the right infrastructure today will ensure the needed tools are there tomorrow, whatever the challenge may be

The COVID-19 pandemic came as a shock, but not a surprise. Sources around the world have been warning for years of a novel disease that could wipe out millions and crash the global economy.

Musculoskeletal injuries can be difficult to diagnose with a traditional X-ray because X-rays only reveal a static image of a single moment in time. By adding the element of time and motion, Dynamic Digital Radiology (DDR) improves on traditional X-ray by capturing a series of individual digital images at high speed and low dose. The resulting cine loop provides a dynamic look at anatomical structures and a window into a joint in motion. 

With the growing adoption of #data #analytics in #healthcare, we are seeing more clearly that there are two sides of data

With the growing adoption of data analytics in healthcare, we are seeing more clearly that there are two sides of data — the brains and the brawn, if you will. For years, we have had access to raw data — as much as 50 petabytes of data per hospital, a 36 percent increase in data gathering per year. But raw data does not do us any good if we cannot analyze and digest it.
As key technological advancements become more pronounced, prolific developments are anticipated to be on the future horizon

Teleradiology is grabbing significant eyeballs, given the tremendous potential it exhibits in revolutionizing cancer diagnostics. As digital technologies advance, imaging techniques have improved significantly, enabling oncologists to offer more precise diagnosis and prescribe timely treatment. The International Agency for Research on Cancer estimates that in 2020 there were nearly 19.3 million new cancer cases, and almost 10 million fatalities.

Concure Oncology’s Breast Microseed Treatment uses palladium (Pd-103) seeds and precision LDR Brachytherapy to enable select, early-stage breast cancer patients to achieve clinical outcomes, such as survival and local recurrence rate.

The term nuclear medicine is associated with the diagnostic procedures single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) and other hybrid imaging modalities such as SPECT/computed tomography (C
SmartXR uses a unique combination of hardware and AI-powered software to lighten radiographers’ workloads and provide image acquisition support.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about an uptick in the demand for imaging services. A fast, accessible method was critical for sharing and transferring image files from one office or facility to another. The nature of digital radiography systems (DR) lent itself well to this need.
The promise of personalized medicine, with its potential for treatments tailored to individual patients’ genomic footprints to generate better outcomes, has long tantalized the life sciences industry
