MIM Software Inc. has introduced a new version of MIM Encore that provides a single platform for viewing positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine exams.  Users will benefit from having all of the imaging data they need available on one workstation.  Additionally, integrated quantitative analysis solutions are available for both cardiac and neuro PET and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) providing an all-in-one solution for Nuclear Medicine departments.

Siemens Healthcare has introduced the world’s first xSPECT system — combines the high sensitivity of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with the high specificity of computed tomography (CT), completely integrating the data from the two modalities, to generate high resolution and quantitative images. Meanwhile, Biograph mCT Flow is a new positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system that overcomes the limitations of conventional bed-based PET/CT with FlowMotion. This new technology moves the patient smoothly through the system’s gantry, while continuously acquiring PET data.

UltraSPECT announced the installation of its proprietary Wide Beam Reconstruction (WBR) software at nearly 10 healthcare facilities. The installations came as a result of the recent agreement between UltraSPECT and radiopharmaceutical provider PharmaLogic, under which PharmaLogic offers the WBR software as part of its patient-centered approach.

Siemens Healthcare has introduced Biograph mCT Flow, a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) system that, for the first time ever, overcomes the limitations of conventional bed-based PET/CT with FlowMotion, a revolutionary new technology that moves the patient smoothly through the system’s gantry, while continuously acquiring PET data. Biograph mCT Flow with FlowMotion takes routine image quality to a new level by enabling imaging protocols based on the organ’s need.

The phrase “doing more with less” is becoming more prevalent in tightening economic environments, and the operating room (OR) is one example of where hospitals are looking to maximize savings. Mobile C-arm units are important for maximizing space in the OR and can provide the image quality needed to visualize anatomy and devices during complex surgical procedures. The latest advances in mobile C-arms aim to provide users with the flexibility and ergonomics that can support accomplishing more in the OR with less.

New long-term data from the DIVERGE study, presented at EuroPCR 2013 by Principal Investigator Dr. Stefan Verheye, Antwerp Cardiovascular Centre, ZNA Middelheim Hospital, Belgium, has shown that the use of the Axxess drug-eluting stent (DES) for the treatment of complex coronary bifurcation lesions resulted in low levels of both MACE and VLST over a five-year period. Axxess is now the only dedicated bifurcation stent with a substantial body of supporting data out to five years.

Between June and October, 2013, healthcare providers at hospitals and medical centers across the United States and Canada can experience GE Healthcare’s entire line of Centricity* Imaging technologies when the Centricity Imaging IT Tour visits locations in over 30 major markets.

eHealth Technologies’ eHealthViewer ZF is a zero footprint viewer that enables clinicians, with any secure browser, to instantly access their patients’ medical images, in diagnostic-quality, right from within their patients’ medical record. The latest enhancement to the eHealthViewer ZF is Image Collaboration.  Whether through consultation with a remote specialist or grand rounds with the patients’ clinical care team, the eHealthViewer ZF collaboration tool delivers real-time, fluid image review and interaction for healthcare professionals. Using this singular feature, multiple users at different locations, can interactively view and manipulate radiology and cardiology images with full access to the eHealthViewer ZF advanced toolset.
