They found that the vintage system delivered a radiation dose that's 1,500 times the level of modern x-ray systems.March 16, 2011Clinical NewsBMJ review article tackles radiation exposure risksA review article in the March 12 edition of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) addresses the topic of radiation risks from radiological imaging, providing an overview of what's known about the cancer risk from radiation, and what healthcare providers can do to minimize it.March 10, 2011ConferenceToshiba adds CT, ultrasound to ECR launchesVIENNA - Toshiba Medical Systems has added ultrasound and CT scanners to the products it is introducing at this week's European Congress of Radiology.March 5, 2011ConferenceGE launches Dexus reading software at ECRVIENNA - GE Healthcare is using this week's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) to launch Dexus, a new software platform designed to provide a unified workflow environment for reading medical imaging studies.March 3, 2011ConferenceSiemens launches new digital x-ray units at ECRSiemens Healthcare is launching a pair of new digital x-ray units at this week's European Congress of Radiology (ECR), including a new economical digital radiography system designed for emerging markets.March 3, 2011Clinical NewsU.K. radiation exposure lower than in other countriesExposure to medical radiation in the U.K. is lower than in other countries, although the level of dose exposure has been creeping higher over the years, according to a new study released January 4 by the U.K. Health Protection Agency.January 4, 2011Clinical NewsCAD detects signs of emphysema on DR imagesMost of the recent research on the use of computer-aided detection (CAD) software for analyzing digital radiography (DR) studies of the chest has focused on lung cancer. But Italian researchers this month in European Journal of Radiology report good performance of an emphysema CAD algorithm that they developed at their institution.September 26, 2010Clinical NewsReport: Growth will resume in European digital x-ray marketsGrowth is expected to resume this year in the European market for digital radiography and computed radiography after a slowdown in 2009, according to market research firm Frost & Sullivan.August 12, 2010Clinical NewsExposure index values vary widely between CR systemsImaging facilities trying to reduce digital x-ray dose are turning to exposure index (EI) values to see how much radiation patients receive. New research indicates that while this is a good idea for digital radiography, it's not so hot for computed radiography (CR) due to wide variation in EI measures.April 8, 2010Previous PagePage 17 of 20Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineEANM: How PET is reshaping Alzheimer's treatment decisionsAs disease-modifying therapies enter clinical practice, amyloid and tau PET are taking on increasingly important roles in patient selection, disease staging, and treatment monitoring.CTLDCT predicts vertebral fracture risk in heavy smokersWomens ImagingNottingham radiographer struck off over misconductneuroRAD 2026neuroRAD 2026: What the EU AI Act means for clinical neuroradiologySponsor ContentFREE webinar: find your imaging capacity
