GE Healthcare introduced its new 64-slice combination PET/CT system for cardiac imaging applications at the RSNA convention in Chicago.
The Discovery VCT combines the high-speed, high-resolution capabilities of GE’s volumetric CT with the metabolic and physiologic capabilities of its PET system. The result is a more accurate diagnosis and identification of conditions such as heart disease, cancer and neurological disorders.

A new way to block the abnormal electrical pathways that cause atrial flutter, the IBI Therapy Dual 8 Ablation Catheter and IBI 1500T6 Generator by Irvine Biomedical, Inc. obtained FDA clearance in December.

The latest version of a medical information software package includes nearly 100 high-resolution images, including anatomical illustrations and enhanced rhythm strips. Now healthcare professionals, using their PDAs or PEPID Online, will have high-resolution visual resources at their fingertips.

The new CARESTREAM solutions deliver improved workflow and information sharing among its entire portfolio of medical imaging and information management products.
CARESTREAM solutions are complete image and information systems that enhance communication of patient data across the continuum of care. These solutions, which include CARESTREAM radiology solutions and information management solutions, are designed to improve care delivery, patient safety and efficiency while delivering cost savings for radiology, enterprise organizations and communities.

The Centricity Cardiology CA 1000 acts as a dedicated modality workstation and a departmental solution when combined with an archive system or an enterprise-wide solution with Centricity PACS. Caregivers have access to a single, comprehensive patient jacket for both radiology and cardiology images without compromising the deep clinical tools and workflow needed in the cardiac department.

VERICIS for cardiology is a comprehensive solution for managing images and information spanning cardiovascular care, consisting of applications for cardiac cath, echocardiography, nuclear, cardiography and vascular ultrasound.
