Agfa HealthCare announced the launch of its Enterprise Imaging Exchange Program, which establishes a secure health information exchange network between multispecialty collaborating health providers to exchange and share medical imaging data. The solution will be on display at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting, May 26-31, 2015, in Washington, D.C.

To meet both clinical and research needs of magnetic resonance (MR) customers, Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. has implemented software and hardware upgrades for the Vantage Titan 3T MR imaging system. Available for new systems and for existing installations, these upgrades improve image quality and workflow so those in both the clinical and research settings have access to the highest levels of performance and information to provide the best possible care.

The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) submitted comments to the Department of Health and Human Services on the Meaningful Use Stage 3 proposed rule and the 2015 Edition Health IT Certification Criteria.

Oxford Instruments plc has acquired Medical Imaging Resources Inc. (MIR). MIR specializes in the build, lease and service of mobile medical imaging labs.

CVRx Inc. announced that positive results from the 'Barostim Therapy for Heart Failure' randomized, controlled clinical trial were presented at the ESC-Heart Failure 2015 Annual Conference in a late-breaking trial session. Results were presented by Prof. Jochen Müller-Ehmsen, M.D., Ph.D., from Asklepios Hospital Altona in Hamburg, Germany.

With the recent innovation of flexible microelectronic sensor circuits that can be made from bioresorbable materials, it is now possible to create “electronic stents” to monitor a treated lesion site inside a patient’s artery. A Korean-led team recently published their research on the first device of this kind, showing proof of concept in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano.[1]
