Yale installs 4th dyseCT CT workflow engine

DeJarnette Research Systems Inc. will deploy three more dyseCT computed tomography (CT) workflow engines at Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Conn. Yale purchased an initial evaluation unit in May 2004.

According to DeJarnette, dyseCT is a low cost alternative to the PACS problem associated with high speed scanners that produce multiple procedure studies within a single acquisition. Workflow inefficiencies occur when a PACS system matches these multiple procedure studies to a single order, leaving several unmatched RIS 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.
