The alliance between Eastman Kodak of Rochester, NY, and ATL ofBothell, WA, is finally ready to bear fruit. The firms next monthwill begin shipping the first components that allow their respectiveimage management systems to be connected to each other.
The alliance between Eastman Kodak of Rochester, NY, and ATL ofBothell, WA, is finally ready to bear fruit. The firms next monthwill begin shipping the first components that allow their respectiveimage management systems to be connected to each other.
Kodak and ATL announced in 1994 that they would collaborateto integrate ATL's Access ultrasound image management system withKodak's Digital Science PACS line (SCAN 2/1/95). Commerciallyavailable connections between the systems have been on hold, however,until Kodak completed work on the DICOM versions of its DigitalScience medical printer interface unit and Digital Science modalityacquisition unit, which acquire ultrasound images.
The units will begin shipping next month and will allow usersto send and retrieve color or gray-scale images between a KodakPACS and an Access workstation. Components for the integratedKodak/ATL system are available from either company.
In other news, Kodak has set a release date in the fourth quarterof this year for a new Digital Science workstation for digitalarchiving and off-line review of cardiac cath lab studies. Theworkstation uses CD-R (compact disk-recordable) media as an alternativefor cine film. The system, which consists of a CAS 6000 archivestation and a CRS 2000 review station, received 510(k) clearanceearlier this year.

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.
