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.

Revenues from the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiation therapy systems market exceeded $220 million in 2018, according to a recent study, suggesting increasing prevalence for the integrated technologies. According to the study from Fact.MR, the growth potential — projected at approximately a 20 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2028 — can be attributed to burgeoning adoption of innovative technologies in cancer diagnosis and treatment, alongside growing focus on patient-centric care.

The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) will present the 2019 Gold Medal Award to Jonathon Leipsic, M.D., FSCCT, and Gilbert Raff, M.D., FSCCT, at the SCCT 14th Annual Scientific Meeting, July 11 – 14 in Baltimore. The SCCT Gold Medal Award recognizes outstanding leaders who have made landmark contributions to the field of cardiovascular computed tomography and to the society.
