Siemens rolls out cardiac camera system

Siemens Medical Solutions has introduced c.cam, a reclining cardiac camera system suited for both hospitals and cardiology offices. The unveiling came last week at the annual meeting of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) in Indianapolis.

The system reclines to improve patient comfort, decreasing the risk of movement and ultimately reducing the presence of motion artifacts in images. Its compact footprint fits exam rooms in large and small settings. In addition, the system incorporates e.soft, Siemens' syngo-based nuclear medicine software that meets the high-throughput demands of cardiology practices.

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.
