Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. will highlight new features of Exa Mammo, a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) designed for breast imaging centers, at the 2019 Society for Breast Imaging/American College of Radiology (SBI/ACR) Breast Imaging Symposium, April 4-7 in Hollywood, Fla. Exa Mammo enables anywhere mammography reading with a zero-footprint viewer and server-side rendering for fast and easy access to images, including digital breast tomosynthesis. The new features, Exa Chat and Exa Peer Review, were developed to help practices improve communication among providers and address quality assurance, including double reads.

AIMed Radiology - Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

The 2019 AIMed Radiology conference in June in Chicago is aimed at those interested in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning in advanced medical imaging. The conference also allows attendees to experience the future of radiology using augmented and virtual reality and to understand the future of medical education and training with AI. 

The conference is June 18-19, 2019, at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago. The event is expected to draw 1,800 attendees, 350 speakers and about 1,500 companies, including start-ups and some of the key players bringing AI into Healthcare.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D., announced Tuesday the agency is pursuing a new framework in which to review artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical software and devices to ensure ongoing effectiveness and patient safety. The agency released a 20-page discussion paper explaining the need for a new framework, the tenets of a total product lifecycle (TPLC) approach to certification, and examples of potential real-world AI software modifications that may or may not be permitted under the proposed framework. The FDA is asking for comments and feedback from all parties to inform future decisions.

The continuing search for advantages to improve workflow has radiology departments constantly searching for new solutions. While some, such as advanced operating systems and computer-aided diagnostics, can require a significant investment in terms of equipment expense or additional training, there is also a simple solution that can help healthcare professionals save steps in the administration of safe and effective care without added complication: prefilled contrast syringes.

In this day and age, information technology (IT) rules. It shapes the way we do business and it shapes the way we live our lives.

Medical imaging and visualization company Medivis announced the launch of AnatomyX, its augmented reality (AR) platform for anatomy education. Currently enabled on Microsoft's HoloLens AR technology and Magic Leap's spatial computing device, Magic Leap One, AnatomyX offers any member of a large university or medical institution an enterprise-grade learning platform for the study of human anatomy, physiology and pathology.

Medical artificial intelligence (AI) startup Lunit announced its attendance at the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) 2019 symposium, April 4-7 in Hollywood, Fla., where it will showcase its latest product for breast cancer detection, Lunit Insight for Mammography.
