CAPTUS 3000 ® Count on Capintec with the Thyroid Uptake and Well System The Captus® 3000 comes Captus ® 3000 equipped with a “Quick Start Displaying the Up” feature that walks the Quick Start-Up Screen user through all program setup functions. The feature will have you performing patient studies in no time! It also serves as a training tool for additional users, while providing fast, dedicated modules for Thyroid Uptake, Wipe Tests, Schilling Test, Blood Volume, RBC Survival and Bio-Assay. announced plans to begin a study to determine if chest x-ray CAD can help identify hard-to-detect lung cancers at an early stage. Ü Data Storage: More space, smaller footprints Smaller and more space continues to lead the trend in data storage as was evident at RSNA 2007. The capacity of data storage is keeping up with the growing number of medical images stored in a PACS. Companies offering internet archival capabilities, such as EMC, believe that the solution is the most effective method for disaster recovery. For on-premise grid systems, such as the solution offered by Network Appliance, most companies showcased stackable products that can add additional rows of storage and are supported by a tape or CD archive. Plasmon talked up the benefits of being environmentfriendly with lower costs for power, cooling and maintenance. Ü Displays push the pixels Last year’s murmurs about a color revolution turned into a loud roar, evident in the number of high-brightness color displays for both color and grayscale needs capable of different forms of calibration and maintenance showcased. Barco was one vendor covering the color spectrum with its 30-inch, widescreen 6MP display, capable of viewing grayscale and color studies on a single, multi-modality, high-resolution system. Monochrome monitors pushed the envelope of image resolution with Totoku’s 15 MP display exhibited by U.S. Electronics and a 16 MP display unveiled by Planar. Medical display manufacturers, including NDS Surgical, responded to the increasing demand for large-format, diagnostic-grade monitors with displays capable of side-by-side digital image comparison and cross-section views. In the large, rough n’ tough category, Double Black Imaging’s 42-inch, splash and drip-proof medical panel could be “hosed-off,” making it a great fit for use in the OR. Ü Oncology imaging targets treatment Oncology imaging and treatment planning systems continue to offer more tailored and precise radiation treatment planning and delivery. Links to PACS and portals help clinicians work efficiently with the most relevant information for maximum patient safety. BrainLab highlighted its ExacTrac X-Ray 6D, an automated patient positioning system that pinpoints internal tumors, corrects patient set-up and tracks patient movement throughout treatments. Cedara announced that its imaging service grid and a specialized version of I-Response have recently been integrated with the National Cancer Institute’s National Cancer Imaging Archive. Carestream showed the 2000RT CR Plus, designed for radiation oncology professionals. The system supports multiple treatment rooms and multiple linear accelerators and simulation devices. Cap-DICOM Software ® Capintec is proud to announce a new software application for its Captus ® 3000 Thyroid Uptake System designed to help meet the needs of our customers working in a digital reporting environment Cap-DICOM™ adds DICOM modality worklist and DICOM export to the Captus® 3000. This solution allows patient information and demographics to be pulled from the Radiology Information System (RIS) or Hospital Information System (HIS), thus, reducing errors and time associated with the manual input of patient information. Cap-DICOM™ creates a DICOM secondary capture image from information generated during the uptake procedure. The software exports the DICOM image files to a destination DICOM C-Store provider specified by the user. This destination may be a nuclear medicine workstation or PACS.
