 ECR Philippe Houssiau interview Data must not only converge but be managed easily and efficiently, if sophisticated diagnostics are to result in better patient care. Philippe Houssiau, president of Agfa Healthcare, discusses with DI Business Editor Greg Freiherr the company's strategy for managing this convergence over the short and long term.  Zonare's newly enhanced z.one ultra Zonare's newly enhanced z.one ultra, launched commercially this month and showcased at the European Congress of Radiology in Vienna, features a 19-inch diagonal screen built into a redesigned portable cart. The upgraded product, which can operate as a cart-based or hand-carried ultrasound system, features software that automatically adjusts the gain and brightness of images and traces spectral Doppler waveform. Glen McLaughlin, Ph.D., chief technology officer and vice president of engineering at Zonare, demonstrates some of the new system's highlights.  Dr. Philip Cook explains the Radiology Integrated Training Initiative at the 2007 ECR Electronic training strategies were a hit at the ECR. One program developed in the U.K., the Radiology Integrated Training Initiative, uses e-learning and a validated case archive to address a shortfall of trained consultant radiologists. Dr. Philip Cook, a consultant radiologist and clinical lead for the program, explains.
