Hoping to accelerate its entry into the cardiac imaging market, C-arm firm OEC Medical Systems has increased its investment in Heartlab, a medical imaging software developer that specializes in filmless cardiac systems. Salt Lake City-based OEC, which took an initial minority interest in Heartlab in March 1998, is integrating Heartlabs DICOMview program into its 9800 fluoroscopic imaging system to create a fully integrated cath lab. The expanded relationship is also expected to speed deployment of Heartlabs imaging network technology in the operating room and in mobile imaging applications. DICOMview provides diagnostic-quality review of full-motion angiograms on standard Windows 95/98/NT computers.

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.
