NeuroLogica
In March, NeuroLogica, a subsidiary of Samsung, received FDA 510(k) clearance for the addition of photon-counting detector technology on its OmniTom Elite mobile system.
“We are the first company in the world to receive 510(k) clearance for a single source and a single detector photon-counting machine,” said Jason Koshnitsky, senior director of global sales and marketing for NeuroLogica. “We're able to upgrade the current OmniTom Elite platform and create the first ever mobile photon counting, point-of-care CT scanner.”
The company will also offer current customers the option to upgrade their OmniTom Elite scanners to the new technology without replacing the entire scanner.
Improved image quality, artifact reduction, dose reduction, material decomposition and density differentiation are among some of the potential applications of photon-counting technology.
“There are many more that need to be uncovered and we are looking forward to working with our clinical partners to really drive forward the value of this technology,” Koshnitsky said.
PACSHealth, LLC
PACSHealth, LLC recently released a product called VNAHealth, an analytics tool to compare multiple DICOM data sets rapidly at the exam, image and metadata level to identify potential patient data errors.
"Organizations can now easily locate incorrect study merges, incomplete migrations and translated data across the enterprise," said Mike Battin, chief operating officer of PACSHealth, LLC.
VNAHealth can target even the largest enterprise, and can be modality-specific or VNA-based.
Philips
At last year's RSNA, Philips introduced its new CT 5100 Incisive, with CT Smart Workflow, an AI-enabled solution to help speed up workflow, reduce dose and aid in diagnostic confidence.
“This system is all about workflow efficiency,” said Frans Venker, general manager of CT/AMI at Philips. “With the combination of CT 5100 Incisive and CT Smart Workflow, we have embedded AI into the tools radiology departments use every day. By automating many of the process-related obstacles, we clear the way for precision in dose, speed and image quality for smart, clinical decision-making.”
Incisive CT is designed to reduce downtime while improving efficiency and care with OnPlan patient-side gantry controls and remote services with proactive monitoring, as well as Philips Enterprise Performance Analytics — Performance Bridge — for continuous improvement solutions. These integrated, AI-driven solutions connect clinical intelligence and operational data to advance precision diagnosis and treatment, according to the company.
