Show Preview RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA xDL Upgrade Offers Enhanced Archiving DeJarnette Research Systems is slated to launch the xDL - Crossenterprise Document Librarian solution at RSNA 2008. Software version 3.1 is scheduled for release at the end of December and deployment in early 2009. The xDL can be used in regional archive settings requiring sophisticated document sharing capabilities. xDL also is applicable in MTF “vendor neutral” archive solutions and offsite storage gateway applications. The company will demonstrate its xDLVision WADO (Web Access for DICOM Objects) viewer and server product. xDLVision integrates with xDL to provide a Web-based solution for sharing and viewing images, reports and associated documents, inside and outside the enterprise. DeJarnette Research Systems Inc. www.dejarnette.com RSNA 2008 Features Over 700 Exhibitors Radiological Society of North America’s 94th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting (RSNA 2008) will feature hundreds of scientific presentations, more than 700 technical exhibitors and over 300 refresher courses. RSNA 2008 will take place from Nov. 30 – Dec. 5 in Chicago, IL. Hundreds of educational courses are available for radiologists. For more information: www.rsna2008.rsna.org Vantage Titan MR Boasts Large Field of View Toshiba’s open-bore 1.5T Vantage Titan MR system is 18 percent larger than other 1.5T systems on the market and features a large 71-centimeter patient aperture, outstanding homogeneity, according to the company, and the largest available clinical field-of-view (FOV) of 55 x 55 x 50 centimeters, reportedly providing a high level of patient care and diagnostic capability in MR imaging. Toshiba America Medical Systems www.medical.toshiba.com iCR2600 Plays Dual Role as CR Plus Film Scanner At RSNA 2008, iCRco is featuring the iCR2600 Dual, a computed radiography system and film scanner. EIZO Introduces New Color, Grayscale Displays Eizo GmbH Display Technologies has added both 1MP color and grayscale displays to its portfolio of monitors in the medical field for surgery and modalities. The 19-inch displays, the SCD 19102 and SMD 19102, feature the latest viewing angle technology and high luminance of up to 280 cd/m2 (candelas per square meter) for the color display and 1000 cd/m 2 for the grayscale display. Both displays are available with two different options: a nonreflective protective glass screen and a multifunctional stand. A wide range of signal inputs as AquariusNET Enables Large-Slice Study Reads Remotely TeraRecon’s AquariusNET Server, which it is showcasing at RSNA 2008, is an enterprise-wide 3D distribution and image management system that enables interactive diagnostic review for radiologists and clinicians using standard thin-client networked PCs. Thin-slice CTA and MRA datasets are processed on the central server with the results screened to standard networked PCs. All DICOM data remains on the server and only the results are streamed on-demand as needed. Any standard networked PC can be used to navigate the thin-sliced DICOM datasets. This serverside architecture allows for 3D anywhere on as many thin-client PCs as required since the servers' processing power can be scaled to accommodate multiple concurrent usage. TeraRecon | www.terarecon.com The system has been designed to be used in general radiology, orthopedics, dental and pediatric applications as well as complement existing centralized CR installations. With up to 90 plates per hour throughput it is ideal for medium to high volume environments. The iCR2600 Dual is reportedly the only CR solution that also enables archiving of old film exams to achieve an uncompromised digital imaging environment. iCRco Co. | www.icrcompany.com well as EIZO’s special “Force Mode” function (adapts the display to specific video signals) reportedly permits tailoring the display to specialized application requirements. Eizo GmbH Display Technologies www.eizo.eu Philips Offers Advanced Visualization Tools for PACS Philips will feature advanced visualization tools on its iSite PACS at RSNA 2008. The newest iSite PACS release features advanced visualization capabilities (MPR, MIP and 3D Surface Volume Rendering) to speed the reading and consultation of volumetric datasets such as multislice CT and MR cases. Running on Philips iSyntax technology, these tools offer advanced rendering performance and scalability without additional software and service costs and complexities. iSite PACS also enhances mammography reading capabilities through a specialized set of tools designed for screening and reading of mammography exams. Philips Healthcare www.medical.philips.com Canon Rolls Out Portable DR ity of its full line of advanced portable and general digital radiography (DR) systems and solutions. Canon will feature the latest addition to its family of DR systems, the Canon CXDI-60G Portable Flat Panel Detector, which succeeds the CXDI-31, a portable cassette-type DR system.
