Nuclear medicine specialist Numa showed at the 2006 RSNA meeting enhancements for NumaLink, a cross-vendor data translation product, and NumaStore, a gamma camera and PET/CT image management system. The products promise greater connectivity within the nuclear medicine department and between nuclear medicine and radiology. Among NumaLink's enhancements are DICOM translation capabilities for proprietary PET data sets, including those generated using Siemens and GE PET systems. The NumaStore upgrade supports Siemens' preclinical microPET and the Inveon Dedicated PET small-animal imaging systems.

Taking high-tech home: lessons of RSNA 2006 Bradley M.Tipler For reasons unbeknownst to me, I attended the annual oration in radiation oncology today, something that I have never done. The talk, "Looking beyond anatomy-based treatment in radiation oncology" by Dr. Theodore Lawrence, was thankfully short on radiation physics. It was an interesting assessment of where rad-onc is and where it is going. Lawrence noted with irony that after 30 years of separation between radiation oncology and diagnostic radiology, the two fields are merging as functional imaging grows. November 30, 2006 |
