iCAD Inc. announced that researchers presented updated data on the use of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) with the Xoft Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy (eBx) System during the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), Dec. 6-10 in San Antonio, Texas. The data include results from a subset of patients who received IORT with the Xoft System as a boost prior to administration of whole breast radiation therapy (WBRT) in patients with early-stage breast cancer.

An extra scan using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could help more accurately detect brain abnormalities and give more certainty for parents whose mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan showed a potential problem, according to a study published in The Lancet.

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. Inc. unveiled the FDR AQRO1, a complete digital radiography system that combines advanced dose-saving features in detector engineering with an ultra-lightweight point-of-care mini mobile cart, at the 2016 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The company also showcased its latest FDR Go mobile, which includes several new enhancements.

A damaging chemical imbalance in the brain may contribute to schizophrenia, according to research presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology Annual Meeting, Dec. 4-8 in Hollywood, Fla.

January 4, 2017 — Philips introduced at RSNA 2016 PerformanceBridge, a new suite of performance management software and services to assist radiology departments in enhancing productivity, improving the patient experience and delivering better value-based care. PerformanceBridge supports radiology department administrators in prioritizing operational improvements in asset management, equipment uptime and utilization, peer-to-peer collaboration, accreditation compliance and practice management. 
 

January 4, 2015 — At RSNA 2016, Siemens Healthineers unveiled its 510(k)-pending robot-supported Artis pheno angiography system, which was developed for use in interventional radiology, minimally invasive surgery, and interventional cardiology. In addition to possessing a zen40HDR flat panel detector and Gigalix X-ray tube for outstanding image quality,  the ARTIS pheno boasts new 2k recording technology capable of delivering 2D imaging resolution that is four times higher in all recording processes than prior Siemens Healthineers systems.

At RSNA 2016, Siemens Healthineers unveiled its groundbreaking Compressed Sensing technology, which overcomes a major limitation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): long acquisition times. With Compressed Sensing, MRI scans can be shortened dramatically. For example, cardiac cine imaging with Compressed Sensing can be performed in 16 seconds rather than the traditional four minutes, thanks to an innovative algorithm that reduces the amount of data required.2

 

Only Key Data Points Required

January 4, 2017 – According to a new research study, most U.S. radiologists receive favorable satisfaction scores from their patients. The abstract, funded by the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute, was presented at the 2016 meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

January 4, 2017 — A new ground-breaking technology that allows evaluation of cardiac valves using holograms was demonstrated at the TedMed 2016 conference in December, posited as the next level of cardiac hemodynamic evaluation. The technology, developed in collaboration with Hitachi and others, was presented by Partho Sengupta, M.D., director of cardiac ultrasound research and core lab and an associate professor of medicine in cardiology at Mount Sinai’s Zena and Michael A.
