RSNA Show Preview RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA Software Aims to Reduce Dose, Enhance Image Quality At RSNA 2008, ContextVision will launch GOPView iRVPlus, an adaptive image enhancement and dose reduction software solution. GOPView iRVPlus reportedly represents a new mode of interventional radiology where real-time image quality can be achieved with a dose reduction of up to one third. It is designed to provide reliable improvement in clinical value by sharpening diagnostically significant structures, such as vessel walls, catheter tips and stent edges, while suppressing noise. ContextVisison | www.contextvision.com Wireless DR Detector Fits X-Ray Rooms Carestream Health Inc. released reportedly the first wireless DR detector that is the size of a standard cassette and can be used with existing wallstand or table-based buckys. M IP SPINE MG SL AB MPR The CARESTREAM DR-1 System incorporates a console and a wireless 14-by-17-inch cassette-size digital radiography (DR) detector that provides a rapid conversion for users of radiographic film or computed radiography systems. It requires no modifications to existing analog equipment and a healthcare facility can utilize one detector for all types of exams. Carestream said the DR-1 system delivers fully processed, high-quality preview images in just three seconds, which significantly improves productivity, even for users of computed radiography (CR) systems. Because this DR detector is a wireless cassette, it provides flexible positioning that enhances both efficiency and patient comfort, according to the company. The detector can be used wherever it is needed — in the wallstand bucky, table bucky or for tabletop shots and other difficult views. With a weight of 8.5 pounds, the detector is up to 30 percent lighter and up to 50 percent smaller than many other portable detectors.
