Confirma is showing at the RSNA meeting its breast MR coil enhanced with interventional components. Launched at RSNA 2006 as a purely diagnostic device, the Access Breast Coil is now outfitted with a grid plate and stabilization plate, a configuration cleared in July by the FDA. The four-channel phased-array coil was also modified to improve patient comfort, reduce weight, and increase physician access to the patient. The version slated for the RSNA exhibit floor is certified for use on Siemens Avanto, Espree, and Symphony MR scanners.
VideosSiemens puts the interventional into I Robot An eight-foot robot arm spins, turns, and twists to demonstrate the unprecedented flexibility of an interventional system debuting at the Siemens Medical Solutions booth. Siemens exec Thomas Truesdell describes for Diagnostic Imaging's business editor Greg Freiherr how this work-in-progress Artis zeego can make interventions easier and more productive.
