aycan introduces OsiriXpro workstation

aycan Medical Systems of Rochester, N.Y., introduced its OsiriXpro workstation and aycan xray-print at the 93rd annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) last month in Chicago.

The company’s aycan workstation OsiriXpro, derived from the open-source DICOM image viewer project Osirix, is a cost-effective, FDA-approved, image-processing software dedicated to DICOM images for navigation and visualization of multi-slice and multi-dimensional (3D-reconstruction) studies.

The company also demonstrated its aycan xray-print solution, featuring a wider array of output solutions. The product is a cost-saving DICOM paper print solution which provides an inexpensive way to communicate with referring physicians and patients, according to the developer.

Harvard’s David A. Rosman, MD, MBA, explains how moving imaging outside of hospitals could save billions of dollars for U.S. healthcare.

Back in September, the FDA approved GE HealthCare’s new PET radiotracer, flurpiridaz F-18, for patients with known or suspected CAD. It is seen by many in the industry as a major step forward in patient care. 

After three years of intermittent shortages of nuclear imaging tracer technetium-99m pyrophosphate, there are no signs of the shortage abating.
