Medical Device News Magazine reports diagnostic imaging news. Keep up-to-date on new imaging developments.
Philips and Vanderbilt assessed 13 diagnostic imaging devices including MR, CT, ultrasound and X-ray, which account for an estimated 12,000 patient scans per month and found that, over a period of 10 years, they emit the CO₂ equivalent of approximately 1,000 gas cars driven for one year.
Advanced molecular imaging, magnetic resonance, computed tomography and digital radiography technologies from market leader United Imaging Healthcare are breaking new ground in medicine and helping to improve the quality of patient care around the world.
According to Stephen K. Hu, LG Business Solutions USA’s head of medical displays, RSNA attendees who visit LG’s booth #1361 can see how its wide variety of medical displays increase flexibility and choice while delivering leading performance and capabilities for various medical settings.
Apollo eBook introduces a paradigm shift in enterprise imaging, explaining how a multidisciplinary, patient-centric approach ensures improved patient outcomes, thinking beyond the radiology workflow to reflect both the workflows of other specialties and medical encounters.
Vieworks will present its comprehensive range of DR flat panel detectors (FPDs) catering to general radiography, dynamic applications, and mammography. The focal point remains on the latest VIVIX-S F series, accompanied by the revolutionary VIVIX-S 1751S—a long-format detector tailored for imaging larger body parts and long bones.
The clinical launch of the OmniTom Elite with PCD, the first US FDA 510(k) cleared single-source photon counting computed tomography scanner with a single detector on a mobile system, will be featured at this year’s meeting. Photon counting is a next-generation CT technology that sorts the different energies of X-rays after they have passed through the scan field, capturing the X-ray photons directly at the detector and converting the energy to electrical signals.
