Toshiba's fourth generation contrast-free imaging technique, Time and Space Angiography (TSA) creates images that show dynamic blood flow without using contrast agents.

TSA builds upon pioneering Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse (Time-SLIP) technique and is desirable for patients with compromised circulations and renal flow problems. It features a high temporal resolution and a continually changing inversion pulse time, creating dynamic images showing blood flow in motion.

A third round of software enhancements made to the iLab System 1.3, an ultrasound imaging system designed to strengthen physician confidence in the diagnosis and intervention of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and increase workflow efficiency, will be on display at ACC 2008.

The success or failure of coronary intervention starts with a winning combination of guiding catheter and coronary guidewire, which gives the operator the optimal support and stability to accomplish the interventional goals. The Terumo Runthrough NS coronary guidewire has some unique properties, which allows access to a broad range of complex anatomies.


Not so long ago, 64-slice computed tomography (CT) systems with their breakthrough technology were newly released for clinical use. Just a few years later, clinicians are looking beyond 64-slice systems to see what they can do with 128-, 256- and 320-slice CT scanners, if they can get their hands on one.


Heart disease is the leading cause of death of Americans, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives yearly. The ability to diagnose and treat patients sooner and with more accuracy is key to winning the war against heart disease. Advancements in ultrasound — one of imaging technology’s most affordable and available modalities — are leading the charge by bringing enhanced diagnostic and treatment accuracy to more patients.

This may be the Red Bull of interventional cardiology sessions, since The Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) and ACC’s Innovation in Intervention: i2 Summit joined forces to form the “SCAI-ACCi2” meeting.

March 12, 2008 - Siemens will showcase its latest ultrasound technologies, focusing on its ACUSON S2000, ACUSON X300 and the laptop-based ACUSON P50 echocardiography system, at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), March 12-15, in San Diego, CA.

March 12, 2008 - Mindray Medical International Ltd. has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Datascope Corp.’s patient monitoring business, creating upon completion the third-largest player in the global patient monitoring device industry, said Mindray.

ScImage’s Web server based Enterprise PACS, PicomEnterprise, employs a single database to organize, categorize, store and distribute exam specific information from multiple departments. This data can be in the form of DICOM and non-DICOM images, clinical reporting, physician dictation, ECG waveforms and even jpeg photos or mpeg videos.
