assistance to radiologists in decreasing the currently reduced radiation dose delivered while conducting CT colonography (CTC) by about additional 50%. The study was published in the July issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
Healthcare have been recently installed at Birmingham Children's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, one of the leading pediatric teaching centers in the country, in order to strengthen its imaging services for young patients.
radiography (DR) systems by using a new technology that generates images of the soft tissues of the chest. The new technology is SoftView® Enhanced Chest Imaging technology from Riverain Medical, a company developing solutions for early detection of diseases. It is automatically improving the visibility of soft tissues of lung, which aids doctors in detecting pulmonary nodules with more confidence. Moreover, since SoftView is using chest X-ray to provide the soft tissue images, there is no need for more radiation doses to visualize the tissues in lung.
services provider based in London, in order to offer highly detailed diagnostic imaging to its patients. The Verio is a high performance MRI combining a range of innovative features, including a 70cm Open Bore design and 32 channel Tim™ (Total imaging matrix) technology. It also provides the considerable benefits of 3T field strength to the clinical environment in a patient friendly package. Routine neurology, oncology and musculoskeletal imaging needs are catered for by the system. Other complex MR methods such as diffusion, perfusion and spectroscopy are also being employed. In addition to that the system's Tim technology provides an unprecedented level of flexibility, accuracy and speed.
platform for visualizing, analyzing, and presenting complex 3D and 4D biomedical data. Amira has new Neuro option that includes several comprehensive tools for neuroscience research, such as MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), in addition to CT and MR brain perfusion imaging. The new version of Amira offers efficient calculation of perfusion results along with analysis and display of multi-channel functional image data such as gradients, tensors, and fiber tracking.
more than their natural conceived counterparts. The results were highlighted in the journal Pediatrics.
