GE Medical Systems shows AutoBone software for the Advantage workstation

GE Medical Systems has introduced a new software program, AutoBone, for the removal of bone structure from diagnostic images.

 The absence of the high-density barriers is designed to reveal blood vessels that are otherwise hidden in traditional imaging views. The technique is designed to optimize surgical pathways with more precise information to allow for less-invasive clinical procedures and increased diagnostic confidence.

 AutoBone software also provides automated bone removal imaging from CT angiography (CTA) studies for the abdomen and lower extremities.

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.
