It also performs well in a broader patient population with diffuse liver disease, according to research published in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.August 27, 2014UltrasoundSonivate points finger toward future of ultrasoundUltrasound needs a little more of a human touch. That's the concept behind SonicEye, a fingertip-worn ultrasound probe developed by Oregon-based start-up Sonivate Medical. The company is moving SonicEye to market with significant backing from the U.S. Department of Defense.August 26, 2014UltrasoundRobot-assisted remote echocardiography shows promiseCan an ultrasound scanner be controlled robotically by an operator thousands of miles away? It's not just a dream, according to researchers who demonstrated the feasibility of robot-assisted echocardiography in a pair of articles published recently in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.August 19, 2014UltrasoundAuntMinnie.com Ultrasound InsiderAugust 17, 2014PACS/VNASoftware extracts ROI values on PACS viewersOptical character recognition software can automatically and reliably capture region-of-interest (ROI) values from images displayed on PACS viewers, potentially yielding significant time savings for radiologists, according to research published online in Academic Radiology.August 17, 2014ISAuntMinnie.com Imaging Informatics InsiderAugust 13, 2014PACS/VNAJAMA: Interstate medical licenses would boost telemedicineA proposal that would make it easier for physicians to get medical licenses across state lines could potentially boost access to care in underserved areas and stimulate the growth of telemedicine, according to a column published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association.July 28, 2014ISDecision support helps radiologists suggest follow-up imagingRadiologists often discover incidental findings during image interpretation, but it's not always easy to ascertain which follow-up studies, if any, should be suggested.
