About seven million CT scans are performed on children in the US annually, and the majority of those children are under the age of 5. Toshiba is doing its part to improve diagnosis time, reduce radiation dose and nearly eliminate the need for patient sedation with its Aquilion® ONE dynamic volume CT system—all while producing images unmatched in the industry. Additionally, Toshiba has joined an industry-wide campaign to develop best practices to image children safely.

Philips Medical Systems (www.philips.medical.com) has introduced AcQSim3,
the only commercially available CT simulation system with absolute marking.

AcQSim3 includes Syntegra image fusion and incorporates CT,

MR, PET and SPECT to help provide a more accurate definition of a patient’s tumor. 

The CereTom 8-Slice CT scanner provides portable scanning so patients no longer need to be sent to an imaging center to get a complete examination.

Carestream DRX-1 System*

DRX-1 Lightweigt Cassette

 

 

 

 

 

The CARESTREAM DRX-1 System incorporates a console and a wireless14 x 17 inch (35 x 43 cm) cassette-size digital radiography (DR) detector that provides a rapid, affordable conversion for users of radiographic film or computed radiography systems. It requires no modifications to existing analog equipment—which results in very low installation costs—and a healthcare facility can utilize one detector for nearly all types of exams where a traditional cassette would be used. The DRX-1 system delivers high-quality preview images in under five seconds, which significantly improves productivity, even for users of computed radiography (CR) systems.

Introducing the world’s first cassette-sized wireless digital DR detector that fits your existing equipment. With the Carestream DRX-1 System, moving to DR is fast and easy. No retrofit. No wires. No hassles.


 
The Swissray ddRCombi Trauma system is engineered to provide fast, superior digital imaging in the exceptionally demanding environment of an Emergency Department. Traumatized patients can now be easily imaged from head to toe, AP and lateral, without the additional discomfort or risk of being moved.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form of stroke that results from thrombosis (a blood clot) of the dural venous sinuses, which drain blood from the brain. Symptoms may include headache, abnormal vision, any of the symptoms of stroke such as weakness of the face and limbs on one side of the body, and seizures. The diagnosis is usually by computed tomography (CT/CAT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) employing radiocontrast to demonstrate obstruction of the venous sinuses by thrombus.
