May 29, 2020 — An investigation published open-access in the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) revealed a high frequency of negative chest computed tomography (CT) findings among pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19), while also suggesting that bilateral, lower lobe-predominant ground-glass opacities (GGOs) are common in the su

May 27, 2020 — PETNET Solutions, Inc., a Siemens Healthineers company, and Zionexa USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zionexa SAS, have announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Cerianna (fluoroestradiol F 18) injection for intravenous use.

The paradox is that COVID-19 has manifested the critical need for exactly what the rules require: advancement of interoperability and digital online access to clinical data and imaging, at scale, for care coordination and infection control.
Matt Michela

One year after being proposed, federal rules to advance interoperability in healthcare and create easier access for patients to obtain and control their medical data were finalized.
The opportunity to converge the silos of data into a cross-functional analysis can provide immense value during the COVID-19 outbreak and in the future
Jeff Vachon

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic normal routines seem like a distant memory for many. The same holds very true for medical imaging operations. Across the country hospital radiology departments are challenged to balance the volume of incoming patients who are ill with COVID-19 with the complexities of carefully managing infection control in a busy imaging department. Meanwhile, waitlists for non-urgent and routine imaging studies are growing out of control. 
AI has the potential to help radiologists improve the efficiency and effectiveness of breast cancer imaging
January Lopez, M.D.

Headlines around the world the past several months declared that artificial intelligence (AI) is better at detecting breast cancer than human radiologists. Can artificial intelligence really read my own mammogram better than me? That would be intriguing, if it were true. 

May 27, 2020 — United Imaging's uMR OMEGA is designed to provide greater access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the world’s first ultra-wide 75-cm bore 3T MRI. The uMR OMEGA has an industry-leading table weight capacity of 680 lbs. and impeccable image quality provided by its homogeneity. uMR OMEGA has expanded capacity for bariatric imaging, and powerful gradients for high fat suppression.

In April, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared Intelerad’s InteleConnect EV solution for diagnostic image review on a range of mobile devices.

Fast, easily accessible patient images are crucial in this day and age, as imaging and medical records take on a new meaning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has put a spotlight on picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), securing its growth and sustainability in this industry.
Technology becomes a state-of-the-art tool when it gets exposed to a structure that constantly tests it and allows it to evolve.
Reshu Gupta

In the history of medicine, researchers have found cures for many diseases, but cancer has been elusive. The earliest mentions of the disease can be found in journals written a few millennia back. The fight against cancer is that old and is still ongoing. During the same period, a lot of epidemics were turned into easily treatable diseases with the assistance of evolving technologies. Tuberculosis, typhoid and malaria are some former deadly diseases that have been reduced to puppet-like structures in the hands of physicians from their previous Goliath-like presence.
Miami Cancer Institute’s Proton Therapy Center is the first in South Florida and the region’s top destination for this leading-edge treatment. Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation therapy that uses pencil beam scanning (PBS) technology.
Minesh Mehta, M.D.

Radiation therapy has advanced significantly in the last few decades as a result of a continued technological revolution, now allowing for safer and more precise procedures to treat a wide range of solid tumors.
Off-site imaging companies are playing a key role in the fight against COVID-19

After the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, hospitals are going to be overwhelmed with a large number of patients needing elective procedures. Off-site imaging companies are helping to prepare for that surge in patients by keeping imaging processes moving forward. Once hospital doors reopen, doctors will be prepared to care for their patients.
