The top two videos on ITN for the year both involved medical imaging of COVID using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and mass movement to teleradiology to enable remote working for radiologists and virtual collaboration with referring physicians. The image on the left is Butterfly's POCUS system that turns a smart phone into an ultrasound machine and the image is of COVID B-lines in the lung. The image on the right is a CT scan of COVID pneumonia. #COVID19

Here are the top 25 best performing videos on the Imaging Technology News website (ITN) from the past year, based on Google Analytics. This included about 100,000 pageviews for videos in 2020:

December 23, 2020 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration December 18 issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a second vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The emergency use authorization allows the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. for use in individuals 18 years of age and older.

December 22, 2020 — Researchers in the DOE Isotope Program have developed an effective radionuclide, cerium-134, as a paired analogue of actinium and thorium that can be imaged using positron emission tomography (PET). Establishing a routine production pathway for cerium-134 is an essential step in advancing the use of the alpha emitters for cancer therapy.

December 22, 2020 — Hospitals and institutions are continually looking for ways to improve diagnostic imaging throughput, especially in today’s environment where disinfection of systems and rooms in between patients is crucial.

December 22, 2020 — EvoHealth, a trailblazer in incorporating new technology in healthcare IT software, announced it has exceeded its first milestone of more than 100 customers with over 200 locations.  The customers represent many types of healthcare organizations including rural hospitals, orthopedics, women’s centers, and emergent care facilities.  Improved technology in addition to a personal level of service and support is what these customers were seeking and EvoHealth has solidly delivered on.
