Civco Medical Solutions will present Envision, the next generation of ultrasound probe covers and scan pads, at the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, Nov. 25-30 in Chicago.

Konica Minolta Healthcare is bringing digital radiography (DR) to life with the ability to visualize movement using conventional X-ray. Known as Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) or X-ray in Motion, this new modality captures movement in a single exam and allows the clinician to observe the dynamic interaction of anatomical structures, such as soft tissue and bone, with physiological changes over time. The value of DDR in thoracic imaging is promising, according to the company, allowing clinicians to observe chest wall, heart and lung motion during respiration. DDR goes beyond pulmonary function; Konica Minolta is exploring its use in orthopedic applications of the spine and extremities.

QView Medical will showcase QVCAD, the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved artificial intelligence (AI) computer-aided detection (CAD) system for concurrent reading of automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) exams, at the 104th Annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting, Nov. 25-30, in Chicago. Being demonstrated for the first time since being approved, QVCAD reduces interpretation time of screening ABUS exams while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.

Data from a validation study of a high-risk prostate cancer trial suggests that higher levels of pretreatment interleukin 10 (IL-10) were linked to lower rates of disease-free survival (DFS). The data suggests there is no association between an elevated level of C-reactive protein (CRP) and DFS. Results were presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), Oct. 21-24 in San Antonio, Texas.
