The past decade has witnessed significant developments in ultrasound technologies ranging from portable devices, wireless transducers to 3-D/4-D ultrasound imaging and artificial intelligence. Researchers and scientists are endeavoring on developing technologies that simplify diagnostic procedures, improve efficiency of clinicians, and enhance image quality. 


August 30, 2016 — Calgary Scientific Inc. announced in mid-July that ResolutionMD medical imaging software is registered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Taiwan for diagnosis using both Web and mobile devices. With the registration, ResolutionMD can now be used for Web and mobile diagnosis across all major population centers in Asia.

Rockefeller University researchers have used a recently-developed imaging technique that makes tissue transparent to visualize brain tissue from deceased patients with Alzheimer's disease. The techniques has exposed nonrandom, higher-order structures of beta amyloid plaques — sticky clumps of a toxic protein typically found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. The findings appear July 14 in Cell Reports.

August 30, 2016 — Franciscan Health Rensselaer, Rensselaer, Ind., purchased a new Carestream DRX-Excel Plus radiography/fluoroscopy (R/F) system and a Carestream DRX-Evolution Plus to deliver rapid access to high-quality X-ray images that help physicians assess and treat patients at the critical access hospital. 

August 30, 2016 — A recently published study identifies two key research findings regarding breast cancer treatment options. First, breast conservation treatment (BCT), i.e. lumpectomy plus radiation therapy, delivered in a community setting resulted in overall survival rates that are higher than the national average. Second, BCT resulted in overall survival rates that are higher than the national average when compared to other available treatment options.1

August 30, 2016 — Mission Health and GE Healthcare announced a novel, 10-year outcomes-based agreement that will help drive significant value for patients, Mission Health, GE and health systems nationwide.

Siemens Healthineers announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Somatom Drive computed tomography (CT) system. This new dual-source scanner is designed to drive precision in diagnostic imaging across a wide range of clinical disciplines, from pediatrics and emergency medicine to cardiology and oncology. The system has the potential to reduce examination time, preparation and follow-up care.

Treatment with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided focused ultrasound significantly improves tremors and quality of life in patients with essential tremor (ET), according to a study published in the August 25 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
