Dec. 1, 2024 – At RSNA 2024, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc. announced several new digital radiography (DR) solutions designed to help streamline radiology workflows and efficiently manage imaging department assets and resources. Konica Minolta is introducing Bone Suppression Imaging (BSI) for chest X-rays. The recently FDA-cleared BSI suppresses the ribs and the clavicle to enable clearer visualization of the lung, enhancing diagnostic clarity and efficiency. BSI will be available as a stand-alone solution with Konica Minolta DR systems and Exa PACS.
The AeroDR PDR is the newest addition to the AeroDR family of wireless flat panel detectors. This 14 x 17-inch value-based panel combines the advanced technology and design improvements from Konica Minolta’s current glass-based and glassless models while also addressing the needs of budget-constrained and cost-conscious customers. AeroDR PDR is designed for the retrofit market to help facilities upgrade existing systems and modernize their technology.
“Konica Minolta builds on the quality, durability and reliability of the AeroDR family of detectors and image processing software with these new solutions that provide clinical and economic value to our customers,” says Lisette Carrara, Senior Marketing Manager, Radiology, Konica Minolta.
Data Analytics/Service Solutions
Konica Minolta also is launching the next generation of AeroRemote Insights, a comprehensive analytics solution that collects and aggregates DR system health and usage data into dashboards to help radiology department and imaging center administrators best manage DR assets and personnel. AeroRemote Insights 4.0 represents a significant leap forward in innovation and user experience with a platform that is substantially faster and simpler to navigate. A new AI-powered chatbot swiftly curates the required data and answers user questions for quicker and more efficient support. Also new are a Superuser profile that provides greater control and customization, including changing operator, workstation and facility names, as well as a global data filtration tool that provides selectors over all pages of the dashboard.
Konica Minolta dealers now have access to their own Dealer Dashboard, providing the ability for dealers to manage their customer system status, streamline system management and identify revenue opportunities for their customer sites that are using AeroRemote Insights. All user and dealer dashboards are fully HIPAA compliant, contain no personal health information and adhere to the highest security standards.
"With AeroRemote Insights 4.0, we are empowering healthcare providers and dealers with an unparalleled tool that enhances efficiency, supports informed decision making and ultimately improves patient care," said Robert Kenley, Vice President of Commercial Services at Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas. "We are proud to bring this cutting-edge solution to the forefront of medical imaging technology."
