Supplemental screening with ABUS helps personalize breast care for women with dense breasts and offers advanced clinical confidence for radiologists. ABUS can play an important role in early diagnosis of small, node negative, invasive cancers. Hear from Georgia Giakoumis Spear, M.D., from NorthShore University HealthSystem in the Chicagoland Area of Illinois as she speaks with Lucas Delaney, general manager for ABUS at GE Healthcare. As an early adopter of ABUS, she discusses the clinical need and her results with ABUS. She also provides her impressions of the newly introduced Invenia ABUS 2.0, and demonstrates a case utilizing the coronal view.

Cyrus A. Raji, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of radiology at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, explains how diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), could help identify individuals earlier who are likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.

Enhao Gong, Ph.D., founder of Subtle Medical, an artificial intelligence (AI) company that develops products to help medical imaging, explains how AI might be used to reduce the amount of gadolinium contrast needed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams.

Anton S. Becker, M.D., radiology resident at the University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland, discusses the long-term risks of cyberattacks on medical imaging data at the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting.

Accuray's philosophy is to personalize treatments to exactly fit the patient. Senior Director of Marketing Andrew Delao explains this philosophy in a conversation with Greg Freiherr at ASTRO 2018.

This is an example of the FDA-cleared OpenSight augmented reality (AR) system for surgical planning from NovaRad at the Radiological Society Of North America (RSNA) 2018 meeting. It uses a Hololens headset to register an overlay of the patient’s MR or Ct scan in the patient. The operator can use hand movements to slice through and manipulate the images.

The vendor gained an FDA indication for AR to be used in surgical planning in 2018. NovaRad is working with the FDA for a second indication for use of the AR in the operating room during procedures.

This video is jerky, slightly misaligned and the hand movements did not always respond because itwas shot with an iPhone inside the visor. The image quality and hand movements are much better when actually wearing it on your head and aligned for the specific user.

This is an example of how artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve patient care by pulling together patient data from numerous sources and then select medical records that are specific to a patient’s diagnosis and treatment for a defined disease state. This is Siemens’ AI-Pathway Companion introduced at the Radiological Society Of North America (RSNA) 2018 meeting. In this examples. A prostate cancer patient has all their data on a single time line that can be accessed by single clicks on the points to open reports, images, procedures or labs.

At the end of the time line it integrates AI driven clinical decision support that recommends the next course of action based on clinical guidelines. The guidelines cited can also be opened for review by the clinician.

Here is an example of how artificial intelligence (AI) is helping radiologists with faster workflow to improve care. This example from the Philips Illumeo system shows a spine CT and how the radiologist can use the tool bar to gain one-click, immediate access to three prior CT studies that will open with the exact slate slice view and orientation as the current exam. This was shown at the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting.

At the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting, Hitachi showed a new computed tomography (CT) scanner designed for larger sized patients. The Scenaria View offers both 64 and 128 slice versions (it is also field upgradable from 64 to 128 later on). It has an 80 cm bore and the table has a weight capacity of 550 pounds. The X-ray tube also can achieve high energies up to 700 mA.  The system has clearance in Japan and Europe and will be submitted for FDA clearance soon.
