continues with the injector technology for molecular imaging. The Intego allows for dose-on-demand capability for flexible exam scheduling; automated and controlled delivery with builtin dosimetry ensures precision; and fully-shielded mobile design with multi-dose FDG. The Intego, which is pending 510(k) approval, delivers accurate doses of FDG and flushing solutions as part of a PET or PET/CT procedure, providing radiation shielding to medical personnel. The Vial Shield holds and shields the FDG Vial, along with a shielded needle insertion device.  MIMvista (Booth 645) is introducing  naviscan pEt Systems (Booth 341) is showcasing its PEM Flex Solo II, a highresolution PET scanner designed to image small body parts. The PEM Flex utilizes PET technology for positron emission mammography (PEM) which provides spatial resolution of 1.5 mm, allowing a view of small breast lesions. The PEM Flex scanner consists of two flat, high-resolution detector heads mounted to compression paddles. The close proximity of the 13 mm crystal detectors and limited angle tomographic reconstruction produces the highresolution images.  numa (Booth 641) is unveiling two its MIM Storage Server, an integrated image archive solution, and featuring its MIMneuro package, which now includes an automated workflow for Epilepsy Analysis performing ictalinterictal SPECT subtractions and MR co-registration within one diagnostic reading station. The MIM Storage Server offers archive searching and data transfer with automated study routing and image retrieval, and has scalable security options using LDAP/Active directory. MIMvista’s MIMneuro now includes an automated workflow for epilepsy analysis. The MIMneuro automated system highlights foci by cluster analysis providing radiologists and their referring physicians a clear picture of the epileptic focus, as well as an integrated brain atlas. HealthImaging.com new products—NumaStore Software Only, which allows customers to provide their own hardware configurations for the NumaStore Image Management software application, and NumaRead Rental, which migrates patient image files to online storage systems. With the NumaStore Software Only, imaging and IT professionals can integrate this version of Numa’s image storage and management application onto their existing radiology department or enterprise server systems. NumaStore also can archive, move, filter, sort, group, query and restore images. The NumaRead Rental system can be configured to store images on the local computer system or forward them to another workstation, NumaStore or PACS. When the migration is complete and the system is no longer needed, the software is disabled and the hardware components are returned to Numa.  Siemens Medical Solutions (Booth the c.cam SPECT system and a host of clinical, preclinical and biomarker solutions for cardiology, oncology and neurology. Siemens’ HD•PET, a high-definition PET technology, offers sharper and clearly defined images across the field of view. The improved 2 mm resolution enables physicians to clearly visualize the smallest of lesions from the center to the edges of the field of view. The Biograph PET•CT family now includes the TruePoint PET•CT platform that offers high-resolution fusion imaging, image clarity and diagnostic confidence for applications such as oncology patient management and cardiac assessment. An enlarged field of view enables the scanner to image more Siemens c.cam SPECT 731/263) is showcasing its HD•PET, Biograph PET•CT family of systems, Symbia SPECT and TruePoint SPECT•CT, photons over a greater area, resulting in detailed images, while decreasing acquisition times. The Biograph 64 PET•CT scanner provides clinicians with its ability to perform high-resolution CT angiography and myocardial perfusion, viability, and function in one accurately registered exam. Flexible, scalable members of the Symbia family range from advanced SPECT systems to unique SPECT•CT systems that offer CT-based attenuation correction and multislice CT capabilities.
