Anesthesiology and ultrasound today
Since the last decade, ultrasonography (US) has become an essential clinical tool in anesthesiology, intensive care and emergency medicine, improving both safety and patient comfort. US indeed allows an extremely wide use for both bedside examination and technical procedures in a way that was previously not possible. For example, this technology is useful for regional […]
Hospital security in the 21st century – from cybertheft to bio-terror
Hospitals straddle a unique crossroads in terms of cybersecurity, crime and potentially, terror. In spite of a rapid shift to computerized prescriptions and electronic records, the hospital business is inherently complex, marked by privacy constraints as well as legacy IT infrastructure. In an era of cost cuts, hospital managers have also been tempted more by […]
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators – driven by MR compatibility, subcutaneous devices
In spite of a relatively short history, the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) has been growing by leaps and bounds. For clinicians, an ICD offers a direct means to avoid sudden cardiac death. Other reasons for the popularity of ICDs include advances in technology, above all miniaturization. More recently, new implantation methodologies such as […]
Cardiac imaging – strengthening case for real-time MR
4D cardiac imaging, which generates a three-dimensional motion picture of a beating’ heart, offers cardiologists a revolutionary new tool. Indeed, the ability to acquire images across all phases of a heartbeat cycle is the only way to meaningfully visualizing morphological anomalies and make an authentic assessment of cardiac function. Traditionally, ultrasound has been a preferred […]
Should TAVI be extended to lower risk patients?
The relatively new procedure for aortic valve replacement, namely Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), first performed in 2002, is considered to be an appropriate approach when conventional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for severe aortic stenosis is contraindicated because patients have left ventricular dysfunction or are very elderly with comorbidities. During the procedure a catheter […]
Breast cancer screening with tomosynthesis (3D mammography) with acquired or synthetic 2D mammography compared with 2D mammography alone (STORM-2): a population-based prospective study
Bernardi D. et al. The Lancet Oncology. 2016 Aug;17(8):1105-1113 Background Breast tomosynthesis (pseudo-3D mammography) improves breast cancer detection when added to 2D mammography. In this study, we examined whether integrating 3D mammography with either standard 2D mammography acquisitions or with synthetic 2D images (reconstructed from 3D mammography) would detect more cases of breast cancer than […]
Mortara Instrument, Inc. Announces Expansion of ECG Warehouse Contract Award with the U.S. FDA
Mortara has been awarded a multi-year contract for ongoing maintenance and support of the FDA ECG Warehouse including continuous ECG studies analyzed by VERITASTM. Mortara collaborated with the FDA to develop the ECG Warehouse which was initially deployed in 2005. The ECG Warehouse acts as a repository for annotated electrocardiograph (‘ECG’) studies provided to the […]
Mortara’s WiFi based Telemetry Monitoring: one more success story
Mortara Instrument’s new family of Surveyor WiFi telemetry solutions is designed to offer diagnostic-quality ECG acquisition and to work on the existing WiFi network, with no need for a dedicated network infrastructure. Its outstanding features have been the key decision factors for Policlinico San Donato (Milan, Italy), one of the top-ranking centers for the study […]
