Show Preview RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA Vendor-Neutral Solution Connects PACS Outside the Study Gateway Emageon Inc. will feature its new vendor-neutral Outside Study Gateway at the RSNA 2008. One IT challenge facing medical facilities is the ability to receive diagnostic imaging studies, associated medical information and full patient demographics from outside its usual network to be read or considered by its third-party diagnosticians or specialists. Emageon’s Outside Study Gateway (OSG) now enables outside facilities to perform direct DICOM transmission of their images managed by PACS to the receiving hospital’s OSG server (regardless of PACS vendors), providing for patient and exam integrity checks to be automatically performed as well as auto-forwarding into the receiving hospital’s enterprise PACS. Emageon Inc. | www.emageon.com Philips Highlights SPECT/CT, PET/CT The Philips BrightView XCT integrates Philips BrightView SPECT in a co-planar design with advanced flat-detector X-ray CT technology to acquire low-dose, high-resolution CT images and to improve registration confidence. According to the manufacture, the system represents the first time a flat panel X-ray detector will be used for CT imaging in nuclear medicine. Philips will also showcase the new GEMINI TF PET/CT and GEMINI TF PET/CT Big Bore, which features 4D time-of-flight technology, a toolkit to better manage respiratory motion by offering comprehensive tools for combined CT, PET and PET/CT correlated imaging.
