An example of the newest generation of smart cardiac CT software that automatically identifies the anatomy, autotraces the centerlines on the entire coronary tree and labels each vessel segment.

Here is a checklist of dose-sparing practices for cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging used in the cath lab. This list was included in a 2018 consensus document to guide the optimal use of ionizing radiation in cardiovascular imaging.1

RaySearch Laboratories AB has released RayCare 2B, the latest version of its oncology information system (OIS). RayCare is designed to support the workflow in a modern oncology center, connecting the different oncology disciplines, boosting efficiency and ensuring optimal use of resources.

Fujifilm SonoSite Inc. announced its entry into the medical informatics space with the launch of a robust point-of-care workflow solution, SonoSite Synchronicity. The software is designed specifically for point-of-care ultrasound to streamline and standardize clinical workflow while delivering administrative efficiencies with flexible credentialing tools.

Image Diagnostics has entered into a product development agreement with ECLS Inc. to design a new radiation shield expected to debut at the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2018 annual meeting, Nov. 26-30 in Chicago. The radiation shield, conceptualized by ECLS founder James Goldstein, M.D., cardiologist at Royal Oak Michigan’s Beaumont Hospital, is expected to address the adverse health effects of radiation exposure and the strain of long-term wear of protective lead during interventional surgery.

The alliance of the IoT, machine learning and cloud technology is at the service of healthcare organizations, ready to assist them in optimizing the workflows.

One by one, medical software systems become more interconnected, robust and helpful. In particular, many efforts are put into enhancing examination and diagnosis processes to enable precise and well-timed decisions, which are key to ensuring appropriate care delivery and predictable patient outcomes.

According to BreastCancer.org, an estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2018, along with 63,960 new cases of in situ breast cancer. About 1 in 8 U.S. women — around 12.4 percent — will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

Enterprise imaging has been a hot topic in radiology and healthcare information technology (IT) circles for the last several years as medical image acquisition has moved beyond the exclusive purview of radiology.
