The Infinia Hawkeye 4 combines GE’s Infinia gamma camera with an optimized 4-slice CT to create a SPECT/CT system that produces 5 mm slices with better resolution in reportedly half the scan time of other SPECT/CT systems.
Integrated in the Infinia Hawkeye systems are Xeleris workstations equipped with Ignite technology, designed to enable complete scan-and-review cycle in a single click and has built-in connectivity to a PACS for better workflow.

Providing morphology, function, tissue characterization and 3D coronary anatomy in a single tool, syngo BEAT is available with the Tim (Total imaging matrix) technology application suite.

GE EXCITE systems feature HDMR (High Definition MR) technology that lets the physician easily diagnose challenging patients. The system combines HD technology with HD applications to deliver the resolution for more definitive diagnosis, the speed to image living processes and alternative scanning techniques to image without artifacts.

The Continuum MR Infusion System is now cleared for use in MR environments up to and including 3.0T, enabling clinicians to infuse medications, sedatives and other drugs while benefiting from Continuum's dose enhancements.

MEDRAD has installed 5,000 Stellant CT Injection Systems since its introduction three years ago while preparing to add several enhancements to the product.

MicroMaxx's purpose-built software and proprietary ASIC design yields high-quality images, while efficiently operating on either AC or battery power. The system boots up to scanning mode in under 15 seconds in a busy office, large hospital or critical care setting. This 7.7-pound device with a small footprint is designed to get medical professionals into, and out of, tight spaces fast.


When mechanical ventilation is initiated for surgical and acute-unit patients, protecting the fragile lungs while assisting or performing the respiratory function is paramount. Developments in automation of ventilators today largely facilitate important aspects of airway management and support clinical decision-making, but the skill and knowledge of the respiratory therapist or attending physician remains the essential, driving engine in this vital area of patient care.


Even a representative from one of the nation’s leading single-use device (SUD) reprocessors says he understands the support behind a patient consent bill recently introduced in Massachusetts. In fact, Don Selvey believes most Americans would say “yes” if asked, point blank, whether they would prefer to be informed before an SUD is reused on them — especially one that pierces the skin or enters the bloodstream. “But when you sit down and explain what’s really going on, people get much more reasonable much more quickly,” he said.

Information from the Hologic Discovery Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) system can now be used as a predictor of coronary heart disease, stroke and other forms of cardiovascular disease. The new indication, visualization of Abdominal Aortic Calcification (AAC), targets heart disease and stroke.

MEDRAD has installed 5,000 Stellant CT Injection Systems since its introduction three years ago while preparing to add several enhancements to the product.
New enhancements include SmartFlow, which provides a suggested cardiac protocol based on the individual characteristics of each patient, and iFlow, an open source interface technology that enables communication between Stellant and the CT scanner.
