DeJarnette deploys fifth dyseCT

DeJarnette Research Systems Inc. deployed its fifth dyseCT system at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut.

Released at the end of 2003, DeJarnette says the system also is installed at Akron (Ohio) General Medical Center, University Hospital SUNY-Upstate Medical University (Syracuse, N.Y.) University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) Healthcare, and Maryland General Hospital (Baltimore).

The system is designed to address the problems associated with high-speed CT scanners that produce multiple procedure studies and a PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) that matches these multiple procedure studies to a single order, DeJarnette says. dyseCT identifies multiple procedure studies and modifies the DICOM modality worklist using a group procedure to replace the multiple procedure; analyses the images, associating them with a specific anatomical region automatically without manual intervention; and it separates the images in a multiple procedure study and associates those images with the appropriate orders.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
