America’s growing girth is a challenge for radiation technologists tasked with positioning patients in imaging systems designed for smaller-sized individuals. Systems manufacturers have worked to develop units to accommodate larger patients, creating couchtops that hold more weight and overcoming technological obstacles to make bores wider and still obtain a high-quality image, both in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) units.

Great news! You just received your approved capital budget that includes funding for that much needed radiology information system (RIS) replacement. Unfortunately, the hiring moratorium will prohibit obtaining the full-time resources needed to absorb the incremental work of this complicated and high profile project. The team is already stretched to the max and you are fearful that this new project will push everyone beyond their limits. Executive management expects that as an effective leader, you will find a solution to continue to meet existing SLAs while managing this project on time and budget. It’s pretty overwhelming, isn’t it?

September 1, 2011 – As with all chronic illnesses, it is everyone's dream to be able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease in the early stages. Naturally, the aim is to prevent the late stage, i.e. dementia, through early therapy. Scientists around the world are making ever more progress in early diagnosis – for instance, in the field of imaging technologies. What is already diagnostically possible today will be showcased at MEDICA 2011, the world's largest medical trade fair and congress to be held from Nov. 16–19, 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany, with more than 4,500 exhibitors from 60 countries.
