Eastman Kodak Company's Health Imaging Group gave AHRA show goers this week a look at current works-in-progress, including networking technology that connects computed radiography (CR) and digital radiography (DR), a new mammography computer aided detecti

Multislice CT has radiology and cardiology abuzz. The advent of next-generation scanners at last fall's RSNA meeting brought new hopes for improved procedures old and new, namely in cardiac applications. Debuts of a variety of new units and high accolades for installs since then have kept CT high on the radar screen.

Higher CT slice counts - 16, 32, 40 and 64 - are bringing more imaging punch.

Computed radiography systems, often in combination with PACS, are bringing cost reductions in film, FTEs, file room space and repeat studies, and driving efficiency and exam turnaround time in imaging centers.

CT colonography is an attractive alternative to optical colonoscopy that looks to spur increases in screening rates for colorectal cancer.

Powerful protocols, workstations, post-processing techniques and PACS are joining forces to combat near image-overload issues in CT.

Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, last week introduced a bill that would establish an Office of Health Information Technology (IT) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
