Happy 4th of July from the Imaging Technology News team!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced visualization company TeraRecon announced its new iNtuition AI Data Extractor. The new technology empowers its clients to automatically transform clinicians’ archived and day-forward advanced visualization data into valuable AI research-ready training datasets.

The newly opened Provision CARES Proton Therapy Center in Nashville is the first clinic to connect the oncology information system RayCare* directly to the treatment delivery system, using it to record and verify the treatment sessions. In 2018, Provision also became the first clinic worldwide to use RaySearch software exclusively.

Productivity and its enabler — efficiency — guided the display of products at the April Society of Breast Imaging (SBI)/American College of Radiology (ACR) 2019 Breast Imaging Symposium. But if the undercurrent of productivity is to take hold, the patient must benefit in the coming marketplace of value-based medicine.

The upcoming release of Civco’s Universal Couchtop ProForm Head & Neck Solution will allow proton therapy centers direct access to effectively treat central nervous system (CNS) cancer patients.

Artificial intelligence (AI) breast cancer screening specialist Therapixel announced the appointment of Matthieu Leclerc-Chalvet as chief executive officer on June 14, 2019. This follows a 5 million euros series A fundraising, and the appointment of Sacha Loiseau as chairman of the board. Leclerc-Chalvet is also joining the board of directors.

Countless possibilities can impact the future of global healthcare and AI is the first step toward breakthrough that will change the landscape of personalized medicine

Contrary to what many people believe, artificial intelligence (AI) has played a role in breast screening technology for a number of years. Hologic, for example, has been leveraging AI in device development as early as 2006, when it trained its first piece of technology to classify a patient’s breast density through breast tissue pattern and texture analysis. More than a decade later, AI has continued to progress.

Burnout in the medical profession is not uncommon, particularly as clinicians have become more overwhelmed by growing patient loads, regulatory requirements, and the implementation of new systems and processes that change the way they practice medicine. Now more than ever, this exhaustion has become overwhelming in the radiology field.
