A 360 degree photo view of a Siemens Healthineers digital radiography (DR) room install and mobile Carestream DRX mobile DR X-ray system dedicated for cardiac patient imaging at the Baylor Scott & White Health Heart And Vascular Hospital in downtown Dallas. The hospital uses the systems to image cardiac surgical patients.

This is a dedicated cardiac Siemens 1.5T MRI system installed at the Baylor Scott White Heart Hospital in Dallas.

Tru-Vu Monitors released the new MMZBTP-21.5G-X 21.5” medical-grade touch screen monitor. It is certified to both UL 60601-1 Version 3.1, and IEC 60601-1 4th Edition.

This is a view inside one of the 11 cath labs at Baylor, Scott, White Heart and Vascular Hospital in Dallas, Texas. This room is used as a combo cardiac cath lab and electrophysiology (EP) room. It is equipped with a bi-plane Philips Allura Clarity angiography system.

Computed tomography (CT) of the head uses special X-ray equipment to help assess head injuries, dizziness and other symptoms of the brain. A new study, published online in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology,1 evaluates the complexity of patients undergoing head-CT examinations.

Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute announced the implementation of Philips’ Ingenia Ambition 1.5T MR, the world’s first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to enable helium-free operations. The technology offers cutting-edge imaging techniques that deliver high-quality images faster while providing an improved, more comfortable experience for patients, according to Philips.

Brain images that have been pre-reviewed by the Viz.AI artificial intelligence software to identify a stroke. The software automatically sends and alert to the attending physician's smartphone with links to the imaging for a final human assessment to help speed the time to diagnosis and treatment. Depending on the type of stroke, quick action is needed to either activate the neuro-interventional lab or to administer tPA. Photo by Dave Fornell.

With its increasing role in medical imaging, artificial intelligence (AI) gradually is becoming a go-to technology for building custom healthcare software to diagnose a wide range of diseases, from diabetic retinopathy to skin cancer.

Biopharmaceutical company CellPoint plans to begin patient recruitment for its Phase 2b cardiovascular imaging study in patients suffering from coronary artery disease using the company's new one-vial Oncardia (ethylenedicysteine-glucosamine) kits.  The 60-patient trial study is being conducted in the U.S.
