When it comes to managing and storing clinical videos and images captured with visible-light scope devices, the best option is still the box. Connected, integrated, vendor-agnostic, efficient. The box that stands apart as the top choice among imaging leaders is the PACSgear MDR Video Touch 4K capture device from Hyland Software. Here are five reasons why the MDR—which merges hardware and software—outperforms software-only options in the GI lab and others. 

If not for AI analysis of a CT scan showing his heart and coronary arteries, patient James Doe—not his real name—may have died of a “widowmaker” heart attack before experiencing a single symptom. 

TAVR is a go-to treatment for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in much of the world, thanks in large part to the hard work of research teams that never stop looking for new, innovative ways to make the technology more effective.

TAVR procedures have surged more than 30% since 2020, with more than 107,000 patients receiving a new prosthetic valve in 2023 alone. As this trend continues, it’s increasingly important that cardiologists consider the long-term impact on future coronary interventions patients may need.  

Finding the right enterprise imaging system is critical for radiology practices and hospitals that need to expand and scale their image management and reading capacity. For Houston Northwest Radiology Association, a large increase in the volume of images they manage for clients means it’s time to commit to a next-gen EI system.

If certainty is the holy grail of diagnostic breast imaging, then opto-acoustic ultrasound is the treasure map showing exactly where to find it. While other imaging modalities can help distinguish a benign lesion from a malignant mass, only OA/US provides the radiologist with a more definitive diagnosis without invasive medicine, ionizing radiation or claustrophobic dread.

Data migration is an opportunity to enhance data quality, a critical priority for radiology. Effective migration ensures correct, complete and consistent data, streamlining workflows and improving user satisfaction. Prioritizing data quality can transform routine processes into strategic advantages. 

Enlitic's Laitek acquisition revolutionizes imaging data migrations with standardization, enhancing data quality and PACS value. This approach corrects and consistently labels studies, simplifying configuration. It transforms the migration landscape. For more details visit enlitic.com
 

Konica Minolta Healthcare is introducing Exa Enterprise, a new enterprise imaging solution that encompasses the Exa PACS-RIS core powered by AWS’s proven cloud solution and its data. This new enterprise cloud solution will deliver exceptionally fast access to data and boost efficiency across imaging specialties.

Few radiology subspecialties can match breast imaging at adopting new imaging modalities to improve patient care. Consider: The past 10 to 15 years have seen the rise of digital breast tomosynthesis, automated breast ultrasound, breast MRI (with and without diffusion weighting), low-dose positron emission mammography and contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography. That’s just to name a few.  

It’s been two and a half years since Microsoft completed its acquisition of Nuance Communications for a reported $19.7 billion. At the time of the March 2022 transaction, Microsoft said it liked Nuance for its core strengths—AI-powered voice recognition and related software and services—across numerous industries.
