Samsung Ushers in a New Era of Diagnostic Solutions at RSNA 2023
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.
Olympus Announces Market Launch of EVIS X1 Endoscopy System
The EVIS X1 endoscopy system received clearance earlier this year along with two compatible endoscopes: the GIF-1100 gastrointestinal videoscope indicated for use within the upper digestive tract and the CF-HQ1100DL/I colonovideoscope indicated for use within the lower digestive tract.
Philips Announces New Interoperability Capabilities that Offer a Comprehensive View of Patient Health for Improved Monitoring and Care Coordination
As a world leader monitoring more than 600 million patients each year worldwide, Philips is creating an open patient monitoring ecosystem to bring together disparate medical devices and systems on a single interface. Interoperability between MDIP and PIC iX gives clinicians a new clinical perspective that enables the capture of streaming data flowing freely from a variety of medical device manufacturers on an open, scalable, secure platform. By disseminating this information through the Patient Information Center, clinicians have a single source, comprehensive overview of a patient’s condition that helps empower caregivers to make treatment recommendations confidently from anywhere throughout the hospital’s digital environment.
