During RSNA 2019, some vendors explained from a stage in the AI Showcase how radiology performance can improve with the help of smart algorithms.
Philips Healthcare underscored the value of a turnkey system in enterprise imaging with the showcasing at RSNA 2019 of its IntelliSpace AI Workflow Suite. The work-in-progress is designed to integrate AI applications into imaging workflow.
A smart algorithm from Siemens Healthineers analyzes and quantitates measurements in chest CT images.
Agfa Healthcare built AI into the latest version of its mobile X-ray system, dubbed the DR 100 S.
A mobile head CT, the Somatom On.site, is designed to avoid costly and potentially risky patient transport by allowing bedside scans.

January 31, 2020 — One of the first imaging studies on the coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was published online today as radiologists scramble to find out how the virus presents in medical imaging. In just 30 days after the virus first appeared in China, it has spread to more than 8,200 confirmed cases and more than 170 deaths. Cases are now being reported in several countries, including the United States and Canada.

Technological advancements — in conjunction with innovative thinking — have led to changes in the radiology industry over the last few years, which has delivered major advantages to both radiologists and patients. These solutions allow radiologists to deliver higher quality services faster than ever before while also helping prevent workplace burnout within the industry.

International Radiology Day (IDoR) was November 9 — an annual celebration that commemorates Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s discovery of the X-ray in 1895 — and I was thrilled to see a flurry of tweets about the value of this sometimes under-appreciated specialty.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are widely used in medical imaging to provide essential diagnostic information from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These injections help a radiologist examine images more accurately by improving the visibility and the clarity of many abnormalities and for achieving maximum diagnostic quality.

Contrast media injector technology has seen several recent advances, such as cutting costs by reducing contrast waste and automated data collection for the dose a patient receives.

Now that another year has come to a close, the ITN team is moving forward into the New Year and new decade with some exciting changes.
