Show Preview RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA Chest CT Software Provides Automatic Segmentation of Lung Lesions LMS-Lung/Track is a software application designed to assist the radiologists in their evaluation of chest CT scans. It provides automatic segmentation of lung lesions and a complete set of tools to facilitate the quantification, reporting and follow-up of lesions identified in chest CT images. LMS-Lung/Track also facilitates the assessment of response to treatment of solid tumors according to RECIST criteria. LMS-Lung/Track provides automatic segmentation of lung lesions for reportedly accurate quantification, 3D reconstruction, volume, diameter and density measurements, measurement and reporting of many lesions identified in chest CT images, automatic follow-up for easy assessment of temporal evolution and reportedly accurate image registration with automatic lesion pairing and growth calculation. MEDIAN Technologies | www.mediantechnologies.com CR Workstation Aims for Improved Workflow, Efficiency Agfa Healthcare’s CR workstation for image identification and quality control, NX, comprises a stand-alone CR/DR workstation and software designed for use at the point of care. Its touchscreen interface allows technologists to complete all standard tasks using the least amount of clicks, thereby minimizing training time, aiming to ensure easy system access and enabling increased flexibility and efficiency. Agfa Healthcare | www.agfa.com Small Field Big View New B-CAD Targets More Effective Breast Lesion Tracking The Medipattern Corp. will introduce enhancements to its B-CAD breast imaging computer aided detection (CAD) solution at RSNA 2008. Capintec, the leader in energy measurement, is proud to introduce the CapIMAGE™ CapIMAGE is an all new small field of view gamma camera system, ideal for imaging small organs and body parts including the thyroid, parathyroid, extremities and gated studies. This highly mobile imaging device provides for a small but stable footprint with a highly versatile head detector. CapIMAGE is designed to fit into small spaces, provide detailed images with rapid acquisition, processing and data storage via DICOM connectivity. The small footprint allows for easy maneuverability within the department, hospital hallways or the patient's room. The detector head is easily positioned for upright or supine imaging procedures. The optional ECG hookup can provide gated cardiac studies that can be accommodated by the 8.25 inch circular field of view. B-CAD v.1.3 is available in the U.S. and B-CAD v.2.3 is available globally. These are reportedly the first breast ultrasound CAD tools to provide advanced decision-making support for lesion analysis. Radiologists are able to document notes, patient history and lesion information, resulting in a thorough diagnosis and effective communication.
