European radiology mobilizes to stave off MRI safety rules

VIENNA - A number of European academic societies, including the European Society of Radiology (ESR), have formed a coalition to try to prevent the adoption of safety rules set to go into effect in 2008 that could severely limit the types of MRI studies that can be conducted in the European Union. Called the Alliance for MRI, the coalition was launched here today at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).

French firm Biospace Med prepares for launch of EOS digital x-ray unit

The vast majority of radiography systems currently on the market -- both digital and analog -- are based on a fairly conventional design that hasn't changed much in decades: an x-ray tube at one end and a film-screen cassette or detector at the other. But the new EOS system from French biotech firm Biospace Med represents a radical new design in digital radiography instrumentation that could carve out a niche when it becomes available in mid-2007.
