Zebra Medical Vision announced it has received its third U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the company's HealthICH product. The new clearance covers an artificial intelligence (AI) alert for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), based on head computed tomography (CT) scans.

United Imaging announced the first U.S. clinical installation of the uMI 550 Digital positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system. The second United Imaging PET/CT system to be installed in the U.S. in the last 30 days, the uMI 550 is now in use at Southwest X-Ray LP in El Paso, Texas.

DiA Imaging Analysis announced the presentation of two studies assessing the performance and accuracy of the company's LVivo EF artificial intelligence (AI)-based solution that generates fully automated left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). EF is a main indicator in assessing the global function of the left ventricle. Presently, many readers quantify EF visually or trace endocardial borders that may not be well defined, yielding high variability among results. LVivo EF aims to substantially reduce this variability by generating objective, accurate and fast AI-based EF.

Access to healthcare by rural-living Americans can be difficult. Part of the reason is the wide geographic expanse.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, rural America covers about 97 percent of U.S. land. It is home to about 60 million Americans — about 19 percent of the U.S. population. Many travel 50, 60 or more miles to urban health care facilities to get specialty care or even a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) exam.

 

Washington Open MRI (WOMRI) has selected RamSoft’s PowerServer RIS/PACS (radiology information system/picture archiving and communication system) to unify its diagnostic imaging workflow into a single database solution in its six facilities across the state of Maryland.

Double Black Imaging (DBI) and their Image Systems Division are releasing their new clinical and diagnostic display lines ranging from 3MP to 8MP in resolution. DBI’s new clinical offering includes their new 27-inch 8MP Clinical LED backlit display.

This 27-inch 8MP unit features a 350 cd/m2 peak luminance, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and HDMI and Display Port inputs.

GT Medical Technologies Inc. announced the presentation of clinical data from a prospective study of GammaTile Therapy in patients with previously irradiated intracranial neoplasms (brain tumors) at the American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) 2019 Annual Meeting, June 13-15 in Miami. These data reinforce the safety profile of GammaTile Therapy, a surgically targeted radiation therapy (STaRT) that is designed to delay tumor regrowth for patients with recurrent intracranial neoplasms (brain tumors).

Canon Medical Systems USA Inc. has received 510(k) clearance on its new deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) image reconstruction technology, dubbed Advanced Intelligence Clear-IQ Engine (AiCE). AiCE uses a deep learning algorithm to differentiate signal from noise so that it can suppress noise while enhancing signal.

A new study reveals black men are less likely than white men to adopt an active surveillance strategy for their prostate cancer. The findings come at a time when a growing number of men with prostate cancer considered “low risk” are opting for active surveillance or watchful waiting rather than immediate treatment with surgery or radiation.

Warm Springs Health & Wellness Center in Warm Springs, Ore., has selected the Digisonics OB PACS (picture archiving and communication system) and Structured Reporting Solution for their facility.
