Care New England Health System (Providence, R.I.) installed a CARESTREAM DRX-Ascend System (see video link), three CARESTREAM DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray Systems and six CARESTREAM DRX-1 Systems to upgrade existing room and mobile imaging systems to digital radiography (DR).

Deep learning techniques can be used to detect catheters and tubes in pediatric x-rays, according to a new study published in the Journal of Digital Imaging. These findings could lead to advancements that prioritize x-rays with poorly placed catheters, bringing them to a specialist’s immediate attention.

Patient gonadal and fetal shielding is not necessary during x-rays and should be discontinued, according to a new position statement issued by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM).

Artificial intelligence (AI) can assess thoracic disease findings in chest x-rays with higher accuracy than radiologists, according to research published in JAMA Network Open. The same algorithm can also improve reader performance when utilized as a second reader.  

National Mobile X-Ray, a Lakeway, Texas-based mobile imaging provider, announced that it has acquired Asheville, North Carolina-based MMDS Mobile X-Ray.

Siemens Healthineers announced Wednesday, March 20, that its new mobile x-ray system, the Mobilett Elara Max, has gained FDA approval.

In addition to demonstrating speed, agility and strength at the 2019 National Football League Scouting Combine, top college football players also undergo comprehensive physical evaluations that include X-ray exams. 

Researchers used a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify acute and non-acute findings in pediatric elbow x-rays, according to new research published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. The team’s recurrent neural network was able to interpret an entire series of images together, mimicking the decision-making process of a human radiologist.
