April 15, 2020 — behold.ai has been issued with a CE Mark Class lla certification in the U..K and EU for its AI-based technology that can diagnose chest X-rays as ‘normal’. This is believed to be the world’s first such approval and has the potential to make up to £100m in cost savings for the U.K. NHS, the company estimates.

April 14, 2020 — Chest X-rays are often used to detect infections in the lungs, but the world’s largest study of its kind finds it’s not a reliable way to diagnose respiratory infections caused by COVID-19. 

April 14, 2020 — The ASRT Foundation has launched a charitable initiative to provide financial assistance to medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals who have fallen victim to coronavirus.

April 14, 2020 — CAE Healthcare announced a new product suite engineered to provide hands-on foundational training to help physicians quickly learn to scan and assess coronavirus patients using point-of-care ultrasound at the bedside.

In an effort to keep the imaging field updated on the latest information being released on coronavirus (COVID-19), the ITN editorial team will be providing regular recaps of pertinent information.

 

April 13, 2020 — Hyland Healthcare has launched PACSgear Enterprise – the latest version of the PACSgear server software, which supports the advanced capture and connectivity modules of the 

April 13, 2020 — A new X-ray detector prototype is on the brink of revolutionizing medical imaging, with dramatic reduction in radiation exposure and the associated health risks, while also boosting resolution in security scanners and research applications, thanks to a collaboration between Los Alamos National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory researchers.

April 10, 2020 — Combining 89Zr-labeled antibodies with total-body positron emission tomography (PET) has extended the utility of novel total-body PET scanners, providing suitable images up to 30 days after the initial injection.

April 10, 2020 — We all learned in school that the beams from X-ray machines pass right through soft tissues like skin and internal organs, but not dense materials like bones, right? Not so fast.

Researchers in Japan have figured out a way to use X-rays to tell doctors about those squishy parts as well, not just bones, in a similar way to how ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) work —but with much greater resolution.
