CT market heats up with 64-slice scanners

November 8, 2004

Toshiba America Medical Systems

Toshiba will highlight the 64-slice version of its Aquilion CT platform, and the first commercial shipments of the 64-slice model started in October. The Tustin, CA, company will demonstrate both radiology and cardiology versions of Aquilion, and will also showcase a new wide-bore CT scanner designed for radiation therapy planning applications.

Siemens Medical Solutions

Siemens will focus on new product developments at the upper tier of CT, demonstrating progress the company has made on the Somatom Sensation 64 scanner first introduced at last year's RSNA show. But the company isn't neglecting other CT market segments, and indicates that a new entry-level multislice product could be introduced at this year's meeting.

Philips Medical Systems

Philips is planning to demonstrate a 64-slice version of its Brilliance CT product line, as well as a wide-bore scanner for radiation oncology applications. The Andover, MA, company will also highlight recent enhancements to its CT console platform and new applications being developed at the company for virtual colonoscopy, cardiovascular image processing, lung emphysema, and viewing large datasets.

GE Healthcare

GE's LightSpeed VCT 64-slice scanner will be shown at the RSNA meeting for the first time, following the launch of the system in March. GE made the first LightSpeed VCT beta installation in June, and the Waukesha, WI, vendor will demonstrate its progress in dropping the scanner's gantry rotation speed, down to 350 msec.

Neurognostics sees business potential in fMRI

Functional MRI is one of the most exciting areas of medical imaging -- an imaging technique that provides a window into the intricate relationship between higher consciousness and the biochemical processes that govern mind and body. But is it exciting enough to base an entire company on it? The folks at Neurognostics are doing just that.

CEM comparable to MRI in asymptomatic women

By Amerigo Allegretto

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is on par with MRI in breast cancer screening for asymptomatic women, according to recent research.

November 15, 2023

A 47-year-old female participant with a suspicious mass noted at screening tomosynthesis and subsequent diagnostic ultrasound was recruited for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and MRI. (A) No abnormality was noted on the conventional 2D mammogram showing dense breast tissue. A mass (arrows) was clearly observed on (B) the recombined CEM image and (C) the MRI scan. Both images show marked background parenchymal enhancement. Biopsy confirmed a 1.1-cm grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma (estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative). Image courtesy of Radiology.

NIH highlights PET study in Parkinson’s disease

The NIH has highlighted a study that shows cardiac PET scans can help identify people at risk for Parkinson’s disease.

November 9, 2023

Heart and brain PET scans from a study participant who developed Parkinson’s disease support a “body first” progression. The top pair of PET scan images show low F-18 dopamine-derived radioactivity in the heart (right, with N-13 ammonia PET scan on left). Later, brain scans showed a loss of dopamine-producing neurons and the individual developed symptoms of the disease. Image courtesy of the National Institutes of Health.
