VIDA Diagnostics Inc. announced the release of VIDA|vision, a suite of clinical software applications built specifically for the pulmonary clinician.

May 17, 2016 — An interdisciplinary Johns Hopkins University team has developed a non-invasive 3-D virtual heart assessment tool to help doctors determine whether a particular patient faces the highest risk of a life-threatening arrhythmia. This assessment can help determine which patients would benefit most from a defibrillator implant.

Advanced breast ultrasound technology provider Delphinus Medical Technologies Inc. announced it is relocating its corporate headquarters from Plymouth Township, Mich., to Novi, Mich. in mid-May.

Macadamian Technologies, a user experience research, design and software development firm, recently announced the completion of a comprehensive usability test of Siemens Acuson S3000 ultrasound system, HELX Evolution with Touch Control.
