The FDA has approved Xoran’s Tron CT system, a full-body fluoroscopy system that is fully mobile, and Viewworks’s Vivix-S F series flat panel detectors for digital radiography.

GE Healthcare introduced a new fixed radiography system Aug. 2, positioning it at the high end of the category and spotlighting its capabilities as the most advanced in its family.

An interpretable AI tool that detects COVID-19 on chest radiographs underwhelmed researchers in a recent analysis published in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. 

The software was put to the test on nearly 5,000 trauma radiographs, assessing for the presence of fractures, dislocations, elbow effusions and focal bone lesions. In some cases, it outperformed radiologists by as many as 82 points. 

The model was externally validated using more than 1,500 radiographs with real-world incidence of critically misplaced tubes. 

A machine learning system for planning spine surgery that also predicts post-op spinal alignment six months out has cleared the FDA’s 510(k) review process.

Radiologists involved in the care of these patients should be especially vigilant in identifying the signs of complications, experts cautioned in a new Clinical Imaging research paper.
