January 25, 2021 — Siemens Healthineers has announced the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the MULTIX Impact C ceiling-mounted digital radiography (DR) system as well as the MULTIX Impact VA20, a new version of the established floor-mounted parent DR system. Economically priced, both systems expand access to high-quality imaging and enhance the patient experience.

We now are in our third week of the New Year, and our tenth month of social distancing and following various state mandates. Soon, we will have completed a full year of the virtual trade show cycle. Will events — and life — go back to the way it was, or has a “new normal” been created?

For years telehealth has danced at the edges of healthcare

All indications point to 2021 being the year of the return path of this boomerang event that sent us all in a different direction in 2020. And while we set our glide path toward returning to normal it seems that the place where we started does not exist anymore. The world as we understood it to be has changed. The tragedy of the pandemic has reached into most of our lives affecting our families, our health and even our careers. The death toll has been unimaginable.

Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging (SDMI) was founded 30 years ago and has grown to be one of the largest outpatient radiology practices in the United States. During that time, SDMI has performed approximately half a million contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations.

Radiologists have recently taken on the role of activists and are tackling pressing issues in healthcare, including breast density

Radiologists — who have long been professionals in the metaphorical and literal back-rooms of healthcare — have recently found themselves in the limelight. Whether as figures at the forefront of legislative and clinical changes, or educators in the public sphere, radiologists are shaking up medicine for the better by tackling some of the most pressing issues in healthcare.

MRI Targeted biopsy is performed using cognitive fusion more easily with anatomical guidance based on the radiology report. MRI targets can be identified quickly in real-time along with micro-ultrasound targets, which may have been missed on MRI.
Visualization and targeting of a guided prostate biopsy using the ExactVu micro-ultrasound at a small Gleason 8 lesion. The small hypoechoic lesion is 0.49 cm x 0.61 cm (0.19” x 0.24”) in size. Biopsy was verified by clinical pathology.

Historically when a patient had an elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen) test their urologist would take the next step — a prostate biopsy to determine if the increased PSA level was due to cancer or another condition such as infection or benign prostatic hyperplasia. These biopsies were performed using standard ultrasound to identify the prostate.
An interview with Eric Liederman, M.D., MPH, Director of Medical Informatics for The Permanente Medical Group, in Kaiser Permanente’s Northern California Region, on the explosion of telemedicine in the COVID-19 era

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Eric Liederman, M.D., MPH, Director of Medical Informatics for The Permanente Medical Group, in

Vendor neutral archives enable a single, central location to store large volumes of radiology data, but now need to be able to house data from dozens of other departments with a wide array of data formats. This article originally ran as an introduction to the Vendor Neutral Archives comparison chart.

Most radiologists and clinicians are not trained as information technology (IT) programmers or administrators, so here is a list of 10 questions to ask in order to have meaningful conversations when shopping for a new vendor neutral archive (VNA).
