Soft tissue disorders like tumors are very difficult to recognize using normal X-ray machines. There is hardly any distinction between healthy tissue and tumors. Researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) have now developed a technology using a compact synchrotron source that measures not only X-ray absorption, but also phase shifts and scattering. Tissue that is hardly recognizable using traditional X-ray machines is now visible.

Case Study | Ueli Laupper, DR business director, Agfa
The diagnostic radiology department of LLUMC conducts an average of 500 diagnostic exams for roughly 1,600 images per day. It was clear that transitioning from CR to DR would have significant positive impact on patient care. However, without the availability of sufficient capital to fund this transition, moving to DR did not appear to be a current possibility, but instead it would need to be a future goal. The radiology department was left with the challenge of trying to find a way to implement a DR an upgrade that they knew would save the hospital vast amounts of money in the long-run without the availability of a large up-front capital investment to purchase and install the new equipment. LLUMC turned to Agfa HealthCare to find a solution to this major challenge. The answer came in the form of Agfa HealthCare’s Fast Forward DR Upgrade Program, which was designed to allow hospitals to keep up with the fast-paced evolution in X-ray technology even in the absence of immediate capital funds. The program allows healthcare providers to sustain their existing financial model and upgrade to the best X-ray technology available with a cost structure that allows the transition to pay for itself.

A battle is taking shape in computed tomography (CT), one that pits the tubes that deliver X-rays against the detectors that record them. It is a fight over how to use X-rays of different energies — variations on the decades-old concept of selective energy CT (SECT), which promise to make diagnoses more accurate and patient management more effective.
