Two powerhouses in the IT healthcare industry, GE Medical Systems Information Technologies and Qwest Communications International, have struck an exclusive, multiyear technology agreement to provide clinicians at healthcare systems with secure, reliable access to clinical information. GE and Qwest will offer a robust application service provider model that enables hospitals across the country to electronically store and retrieve medical images from remote sites. GE will offer ASP services to hospitals and healthcare systems; Qwest will store and manage the medical data. The companies estimate that the service will generate more than $250 million in top-line revenue. GE introduced its ASP last year using traditional long distance telephone networks. The company has since contracted to provide radiology and cardiology ASP services to more than 50 healthcare sites in the U.S.

Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
