(Booth 4720) Taking center stage in the E-Z-EM booth at this year's RSNA show will be EZ Chem, a handheld blood analyzer designed to help clinicians assess renal function and prevent contrast reactions by measuring creatinine levels.
On the information technology side, IRiS 2.0 is the newest version of E-Z-EM's injector reporting system software. IRiS works with the company's Empower CT and MR contrast injectors, and enables users to track factors such as patient ID, creatinine values, GFR measurements, type of contrast used, and number of contrast extravasations.
Finally, look for Lake Success, NY-based E-Z-EM to highlight the virtual colonoscopy products that were used in the recently completed National CT Colonography Trial (ACRIN 6664), including the ProtoCO2l carbon dioxide insufflator and Tagitol stool-tagging agent.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
