Philips unveils tiniest TEE probe
Philips claimed the world's smallest transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) transducer this week at the American Society of Echocardiography. Its newly unveiled microTEE, which is about one-third the size of pediatric TEE transducers now on the market, was developed specifically for cardiac imaging of neonatal patients too small for other such probes. The microTEE will be available for sale globally this summer as part of the company's latest Vision release for the Philips iE33 intelligent echocardiography system. Although particularly suited to small neonates, the microTee may also help adult patients who have trouble tolerating standard-size TEE probes.
eRAD boosts interoperability of PACS
PACS/IT vendor eRAD has upgraded its eRAD RIS/PACS v6 with a new web-based platform designed to integrate images, reports, and other data from information systems built by other vendors. The new uniRAD can be customized to fit specific preferences at the site, while offering the flexibility to accommodate a range of external systems. Initial installations of the new platform are in place in the U.S. and Hungary.

New Study Shows Non-Radiologists Interpreting 28 Percent of Imaging for Medicare Patients
June 28th 2024While radiologists interpreted approximately 99 percent of all non-cardiac CT, MRI and nuclear medicine studies in hospital and emergency department settings for Medicare beneficiaries, new research shows significantly less radiologist review of cardiac imaging and office-based imaging.
FDA Clears Pocket-Sized ECG System and AI Technology for Detection of Cardiac Conditions
June 27th 2024Using a reduced leadset and deep neural network algorithms trained on more than 175 million electrocardiograms, the KAI 12L technology reportedly detects up to 35 cardiac determinations, including acute myocardial infarction.
