With portable dynamic flat panel detector (FPD), the new fully digital FLEXAVISION F3 is suitable for fluoroscopic as well as radiographic applications. The FPD has a large field of view measuring 35 x 43 cm and enables a multitude of examinations from barium enemas to gastrointestinal, non-vascular radiological interventions, urograms and other urinary tract contrast media acquisitions. General radiographic examinations of the thorax, the pelvic region, the extremities as well as examinations for orthopaedic surgery purposes can be easily performed. The compact system also offers a multitude of R/F applications.

Therapeutic hypothermia is gaining increasing acceptance following cardiac arrest in both the pre-hospital and hospital environments. Landmark clinical studies demonstrating that mild hypothermia lowers mortality and improves neurological outcome after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest were published in 2002. The European Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest (HACA) trial group demonstrated an improvement in survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurological status in cooled patients compared with normothermic patients surviving cardiac arrest (53 percent versus 36 percent respectively), with no significant adverse events from cooling. The RhinoChill intranasal cooling system is a non-invasive, portable system for transnasally cooling the head and lowering the body’s core temperature immediately following cardiac arrest, stroke or traumatic brain injury. Quick to set up and extremely easy to use, the system uses a non-invasive nasal catheter that sprays a rapidly evaporating, inert coolant liquid into the nasal cavity, a large area situated beneath the brain that acts as a heat exchanger. As the liquid evaporates, heat is directly removed from the base of the skull and surrounding tissues via conduction and indirectly through the blood via convection. The system is battery-powered, compact and does not require refrigeration, making it ideal for use in pre-hospital settings. Each coolant bottle holds enough liquid to cool a patient for 30 minutes at nominal flow, and bottles can be easily exchanged to maintain the cooling process.

An exciting innovation to facilitate the diagnosis of breast diseases, SenoBright provides two images in the same orientation for each of the standard CC and MLO views. The first image exposure uses standard mammography parameters, while the second image shows contrast-enhanced areas with the background tissue signal suppressed. Thanks to this combination of two types of images, generated by the system, one obtained at low-energy spectrum and one at high-energy spectrum, one clear final image is obtained where signal from the normal tissue is removed and where contrast appears very distinctly.This system could be an interesting alternative when additional tests are required to clarify an equivocal lesion, being a very fast imaging technique with immediate availability in the mammography suite without the waiting often associated with scheduling other types of tests and waiting for the results.
