American Society of Echocardiography

The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) (13087) is launching a web-based product to enhance lab quality and facilitate the accreditation process: The ASE Echo ToolBox.

ASE Echo ToolBox will give the cardiovascular ultrasound community the ability to organize and document a lab’s practices.

ASE Echo ToolBox offers “wizards” to walk labs through creating policies and protocols, it identifies gaps in the lab’s application, and improves its ability to meet Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories minimum standards.

Around the web

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care. 

Richard Heller III, MD, RSNA board member and senior VP of policy at Radiology Partners, offers an overview of policies in Congress that are directly impacting imaging.
 

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
