As the second day dawns on RSNA’s 100th annual meeting, repre-sentatives of more than 650 compa-

nies—spread out over half million square feet of space, demonstrating products both cutting-edge and tried and true—are ready to meet more meeting attendees.

Radiology has never stopped advancing and improving throughout RSNA’s long his-tory: each year new technology is unveiled by companies old and new. One company, with a long history in healthcare technology is McKesson, located at Booth 7313 in the North Building, Hall B. McKesson is again bringing solutions to RSNA and their cus-tomers that help breakdown the information silos between radiology or cardiology solu-tions and reduce the complexity introduced through consolidation.

“McKesson has always been a thought leader in healthcare technology and we remain well positioned to lead the indus-try,” said Erkan Akyuz, president of imaging and workflow solu-tions. “McKesson is pleased to work with our customers by providing the intel-ligent workflow and interoperability that creates unified access to patient records and helps our customers deliver better health-care while achieving better business out-comes.”

Alongside veterans like McKesson at RSNA 2014 are about 100 first-time exhibi-tors, with products to help attendees keep up with the latest imaging topics such as X-ray photon counting detection and every-day issues like bookkeeping.

Other longtime exhibitors on the show-floor are introducing new products and services too, across the wide range of inter-ests and subjects of RSNA annual meeting attendees—included are CT, MR, interven-tional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiogra-phy and ultrasound hardware and software, contrast agents and other pharmaceuticals, departmental management products and ser-vices, educational literature and electronic health records. Also available are products for film and image management and qual-ity assurance and safety, as well as DICOM compliant systems. McKesson Helps Deliver Efficient Workflow for Quality InitiativesMcKesson’s solutions for enterprise imaging help promote efficient workflow and lower costs, going beyond simple neutral archives to improve interoperabil-ity. “As the industry and our customers transition from volume to value-based care, we will help them reduce the dupli-cation and complexity,” Akyuz said.

FUJIFILM Medical Systems will introduce a cutting-edge new image processing tool called Virtual Grid, the latest evolution of the company’s digital X-ray advances. Virtual Grid intelligently adapts contrast to improve image quality for exams taken without a grid. Virtual Grid automatically adapts its processing to replicate grid use to reduce degradation of image quality caused by scatter radiation. This new feature analyzes the image for scatter effect based on exam menu and selected parameters and offers automated and selectable grid ratios to further adapt image quality to site preferences. Virtual Grid processing will be a great benefit to technologists for mobile imaging in ER, OR, bedside, wheelchair and other exams where they may not have the optimal grid or any grid on hand.

CT Bone DensitometryMindwaysCT is pleased to announce Cli-niQCT™ a new version of its world-leading CT bone densitometry software. Quantitative CT (QCT) with its low capital and maintenance costs can provide bone densitometry services for much less than the cost of operating a DXA machine. This new FDA-cleared asynchronous technology version pro-vides bone density measurement without the use of a patient calibration phantom during the scan. This allows measure-ment from any abdominal or pelvic CT scan including CT colonography studies. Smaller facilities with lower densitom-etry referrals can take advantage of this software to offer an important service

TRACTUS’ unique, pro-prietary hardware and software solution ensures that there is complete coverage when the technologist records a whole breast ultrasound exam, so that when the physician reviews those images in the undisturbed comfort of their reading room, the physician can be confident that they are reviewing the entirety of the breast. The technologist may perform the exam on both breasts in five minutes or less. Physician review times are approximately five minutes. TRACTUS’ automated whole breast ultrasound system has the industry’s smallest footprint and cost approximately 50 percent of other whole breast ultrasound devices, allowing radiologists to profitably serve their dense breasted patients in today’s reimburse-ment environment.
