May 12, 2014 — Patients using the Boston Scientific Latitude remote patient management system with wireless telemetry demonstrated significantly lower mortality and fewer hospitalizations than patients with Latitude-compatible devices who were not followed on the system, according to results from the PREDICt-RM study (Patient RElated Determinants of ICD Remote Monitoring Utilization and Outcomes). The results were presented at Heart Rhythm 2014, the Heart Rhythm Society's (HRS) 35th annual scientific sessions in San Francisco.

May 12, 2014 — The Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR) at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, is the first U.S. facility to install Siemens Healthcare’s Magnetom Prisma, a 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner capable of exceptionally high spatial and temporal resolution to achieve image quality, particularly in highly demanding situations.

May 12 2014 — M*Modal announced enhancements to its Fluency Flex Mobile dictation application for iOS 6.0+ devices. Moving beyond the capture of clinical notes during patient encounters to more robust clinical documentation, the new application allows physicians to select a patient from their appointment schedule to quickly and accurately record clinical notes, improving ease of use and productivity.

The iCT Elite CT system provides low dose, low energy, and low noise with premium results. It is built on technologies that uphold patient-centric clinical quality, including low-contrast resolution and good image quality with reduced artifacts.
 
The system ices IMR, low-contrast resolution software, to help  simultaneously achieve 60–80 percent lower dose, 43–80 percent improved low-contrast detectability, and 70–83 percent lower noise. 
 
The Ingenuity Elite 256-slice CT scanner uses the NanoPanel Elite for low-dose, low-energy and low-noise imaging. It also uses iPatient that puts thye operator in control. Key benefits include high image quality with reduced artifacts and industry-leading low-contrast resolution. 
 
The system uses the iDose4 Premium Package to produce high image quality with reduced artifacts. iDose4 improves image quality through artifact prevention and increased spatial resolution at low dose. O-MAR reduces artifacts caused by large orthopedic implants. 
 
The Philips Ingenuity Core CT scanner offers low-dose, high-quality imaging and coverage, and the ability to personalize image quality patient by patient. In addition, it offers in-room upgradability so its capabilities can grow as your needs grow. Key benefits of the system include confidence and consistency, high image quality with reduced artifacts, and industry-leading low-contrast resolution. The system comes in both 64 and 128 slice configurations.

New data presented for the first time at the World Heart Federation’s World Congress of Cardiology 2014 shows a significant improvement in both patient adherence and risk factor control when patients at high risk of heart attack or stroke receive a polypill, compared to usual care. 

Kalila Medical received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Vado steerable introducer sheath used during atrial fibrillation (AF) and other procedures requiring vascular and intracardiac access.
