Picture archiving and communication system/radiology information system (PACS/RIS) developer PaxeraHealth has won four new PACS projects in Chile during the past three months, according to the company. The healthcare facilities have selected PaxeraHealth’s web-based PACS solution, PaxeraUltima. The facilities will benefit from a multimodality medical viewer that delivers a consolidated worklist, zero-footprint viewer to access images and reports from any browser or smart device, and a full spectrum of diagnostic and reporting tools.

The Amsterdam University Medical Center has won MR Solutions’ Image of the Year 2019 award for the best molecular research image. Preclinical image submissions came in from most of MR Solutions’ users across the world. The winners, which were presented at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) conference, May 11-16 in Montreal, QC, Canada, were chosen by a panel of leading academics who examined images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) or computed tomography (CT) – or a combination of imaging modalities.

BGN Technologies, the technology transfer company of Ben-Gurion University (BGU), introduced a novel method for producing radioisotopes for nuclear medicine and medical imaging technologies such as computed tomography (CT) scan and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).

Client Outlook Inc. announced that Duke University Health System has implemented eUnity for enterprise viewing throughout its comprehensive healthcare network.

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) are collaborating with the Society of Thoracic Radiology (STR) and MD.ai to host a Machine Learning Challenge on Pneumothorax Detection and Localization on Kaggle. The challenge will use augmented annotations on the public chest radiograph dataset from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The augmented annotations were created by radiologists from SIIM and STR using a commercial web-based tool from MD.ai, and follow the ACR Data Science Institute’s structured artificial intelligence (AI) use case for pneumothorax detection.

RefleXion Medical recently announced the opening of its new manufacturing facility at its headquarters in Hayward, Calif. The 50,000 square-foot facility includes six state-of-the-art linear accelerator testing vaults for the RefleXion machine and will house manufacturing, quality control, and a customer education center with a radiation oncology suite for clinical training.

Lunit announced an abstract presentation of its artificial intelligence (AI) precision medicine research portfolio at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting 2019, held May 31 – June 4 in Chicago. The accepted abstract highlights the feasibility of AI-based biomarkers in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, based on the H&E analysis that predicts response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
