No one really knows how epiphanies come to be. Those moments of enlightenment, slivers in time, when the curtains are thrown back and there, revealed, is the hardly expected.

Researchers at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway, have combined a laboratory ultrasound technique with the commercially-available chemotherapy compound Gemcitabine to increase the porosity of pancreatic cells with microbubbles.

To make a good framework for filling in missing bone, mix at least 30 percent pulverized natural bone with some special man-made plastic and create the needed shape with a 3-D printer. That’s the recipe for success reported by researchers at The Johns Hopkins University in a paper published online in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering.

Ikonopedia announced that it has reached an agreement to host the first-ever Web-based version of the Tyrer-Cuzick Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool.

Science fiction offers a lot of ideas for creating new body parts on demand, and the advancement of 3-D printing (also called additive manufacturing) is slowly translating this idea into science fact. Today, the 3-D printed anatomic models created from patient computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or 3-D ultrasound imaging datasets are used for education and to plan and navigate difficult procedures. These models are used to teach about complex or rare cardiac or congenital conditions that up until recently could only be seen using examples extracted from cadavers.

A new technique for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging improves accuracy by removing patients' need to breathe, reveals research presented at EuroCMR 2016.

May 24, 2016 — Aspyra LLC announced that version 7.1 of its AccessNET picture archiving and communication system (PACS) product has been released and is being implemented at customer sites. The new version contains multiple enhancements, including those to hanging protocols, image sets, automated jobs and administrative reports to benefit users and administrators of the system.

Carestream representatives will describe the benefits of its Carestream OnSight 3-D Extremity System at the American Association of Orthopedic Executives conference, June 9-12 in San Francisco.

First-in-human data presented at EuroPCR 2016 demonstrate that hemodynamic data from HeartFlow Inc. may help predict which coronary plaques have the potential to rupture.

May 23, 2016 — Mobius Medical Systems announced today they have received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and accept orders for the new cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) module in Mobius3D.
