September 21, 2020 — Breast cancer patients whose disease has spread to their brains fare better if their metastases are picked up before they begin to cause symptoms, according to a study presented at the 12th European Breast Cancer Conference.

Data from breastcancer.org indicates that 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 48,530 cases of noninvasive (in situ) breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2020. Of these cases, more than 42,000 women are expected to die. The incidence of death from breast cancer decreased 1.3 percent per year from 2013-2017, with the decline credit being giving to earlier detection through screening. 

Of all the buzzwords one would have guessed would dominate 2020, few expected it to be “virtual”. We have been virtualizing various aspects of our lives for many years, but the circumstances of this one has moved almost all of our lives into the virtual realm.

September 18, 2020 — Florida’s Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) recently became the first healthcare institution in the United States to install the SOMATOM X.cite, a premium single-source computed tomography (CT) scanner from Siemens Healthineers that offers advanced imaging capabilities with

September 18, 2020 — A single-center observational study of more than 1,000 oncological examinations has demonstrated that positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) facilitates cancer staging as well as PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) and improves lesion detectability in select cancers, potentially helping to promote fast, efficient local and whole-body staging in one step.

As the silos of data and diagnostic imaging PACS systems are being collapsed and secured, the modular enterprise imaging platform approach is gaining significance, offering systemness and security

COVID-19 is now everywhere, and these are the longest months in my career when I have not traveled or met in person with our customers and thought leaders.
Cloud and cloud-native architecture is the future for computing solutions in EI applications

With over five years of presence in the rapidly expanding enterprise imaging (EI) community through organizations such as the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and Society for Imaging Informatics (SIIM), it became clear that large integrated delivery networks (IDN) are serious about p

COVID-19 is routinely studied using lung ultrasound and quantifying the disease by the “white lung” appearance of multiple B-lines targeting the pulmonary parenchyma. All modern sonographic equipment offers color Doppler features, which have not been fully utilized in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory and malignant lesions.
