The global contrast media injectors market is expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8 percent, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., a research firm based in San Francisco. Rising demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures is a major factor expected to boost the market during the forecast period. These devices assist surgeons in accurate insertion of contrast agents with reduced human errors, thus increasing the accuracy and efficiency of surgical procedures. They play a crucial role in intra-operative computed tomography (iCT), intra-operative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) and interventional cardiology. Availability of advanced injector systems for diagnosis and intra-operative imaging has boosted adoption of these systems.

In the world of breast imaging, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a relative newcomer, only being adopted into clinical practice in the last 8 years. The benefits of DBT, also known as 3-D mammography, are generally understood — improved cancer detection over traditional 2-D mammography due to the ability to scroll through different slices of the breast to see lesions undetectable in two dimensions. While the evidence for DBT has been mounting, new data reveal the technology has seen explosive growth in the last 18 months.

Technological advances — particularly the adoption of 3-D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) — are making it possible for earlier, and more accurate, detection of breast cancer. However, the transition to 3-D mammography is resulting in numerous challenges and concerns. DBT produces hundreds of images, compared to just four images typically associated with conventional 2-D digital mammography. As a result, radiologists find they require significantly more time to review and interpret each exam, reducing the number of patients they can see each day and increasing fatigue, which could potentially lead to missed diagnoses.
Located in a spacious 25,000-square-foot facility on the Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas campus, Southwest Diagnostic Imaging Center is one of the largest freestanding imaging centers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Proton therapy has experienced major growth in the last decade, but that growth seems to have slowed slightly in recent months. Market research firm MEDraysintell released a new report in January revising its projection for the number of proton therapy centers worldwide by 2030 down from 1,200 to 900. The company said that more than 50 proton therapy treatment rooms would need to be opened every year from 2018 to 2030 to hit the original projection of 1,200.
The continuing search for advantages to improve workflow has radiology departments constantly searching for new solutions. While some, such as advanced operating systems and computer-aided diagnostics, can require a significant investment in terms of equipment expense or additional training, there is also a simple solution that can help healthcare professionals save steps in the administration of safe and effective care without added complication: prefilled contrast syringes.
Physicians are struggling with too much of a good thing. They have never had so much information about their patients. But the data are scattered across multiple departments and across the enterprise. Finding relevant information can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Enterprise imaging is evolving to address the problem — to find and assemble relevant information so that accurate diagnoses can be made efficiently and effectively.
Did you know that approximately one-third of all the data in world is created by the healthcare industry and that ...
