With the convergence of whole organ coverage, image quality, and speed found in GE Healthcare’s Revolution CT scanner, physicians are now able to diagnose even the most challenging patients. This innovative technology can help clinicians to diagnose more patients with erratic or high heart beats and also provide pediatric patients with sedation-free and low-dose scanning capabilities, among other clinical advances. The wide coverage of Revolution CT allows healthcare providers to scan entire organs such as the brain, heart, liver and pancreas, in a single 0.28 sec rotation reducing breath hold times for patients. Also, the speed of this new technology allows providers to gather information about function as well as anatomy, enabling a comprehensive stroke assessment of the brain in a single exam. Revolution CT comes equipped with ASiR-V, GE’s next generation of low dose technology which routinely reduces dose up to 82% with the same image quality. Furthermore, patient anxiety can be reduced as the scanner is 50% quieter than previous generation CTs while providing soft ambient lighting and personalized gantry displays. It can comfortably accommodate more patients with a larger 80 cm bore size. Patients may not be required to take special medication to slow their heart rate for a diagnostic cardiac exam due to Revolution CT’s fast imaging speed. Revolution CT delivers high definition imaging across the entire body, across all applications, including cardiac exams in a single heart beat; whole brain imaging in less than a second; low dose, whole organ diagnosis and follow-up for oncology patients; detailed boned imaging, even for patients with metal implants; and sedation-free and low dose scans for pediatric patients.

Noise levels above 50 dB(A) have been scientifically proven to negatively affect patient recovery and increase complications in surgery. Therefore, SoundEar has created a series of products for visualizing noise in hospitals.  Noise is an increasing challenge of the indoor climate in hospitals in line with temperature fluctuations and air humidity. Too much noise will affect staff and patients. However, it is impossible to resolve noise issues in hospitals without first knowing where noise is a problem and then being able to provide an instant alert. Because of that, SoundEar’s newest products are specially made for visualizing areas of noise and alerting the specific area in hospitals. Built in accordance with IEC 60601-1 (medical electrical equipment), SoundEar III is mounted onto a wall, showing the noise level in an easy to understand manner, and it emits a warning whenever the noise level gets too high.

Coronis Uniti is Barco’s latest response to specific challenges in modern radiology: increasing image volumes, growing complexity, and ergonomic stress. Radiologists’most important issues were brought to light a few weeks ago, when healthcare research agency The MarkeTech Group revealed the results of its most recent radiology survey. The study, which interviewed over 200 radiologists from Europe and North America, also offered clear insights into possible solutions. For example, the majority of respondents indicated that higher image quality, a more efficient workflow, and increased comfort would significantly increase reading performance. By supporting both PACS and breast imaging, calibrated colour and greyscale, 2D and 3D, and static as well as dynamic images, Coronis Uniti eliminates the need for multi-head display setups or moving to another workstation, thus increasing workflow efficiency while saving costs. Focused on driving productivity, Coronis Uniti is loaded with ingenious features that improve the reading experience. These include RapidFrame technology to ensure crisp and in-focus moving images and an innovative multi-touch pad for fast application control. The 12MP colour screen offers the highest resolution available on the medical imaging market today. Furthermore, to meet the DICOM standard for greyscale images and to guarantee consistent colour, the display is equipped with Barco’s SteadyColor calibration technology. Additional special features such as Color Per Pixel Uniformity to reduce screen noise and Ambient Light Compensation ensure that image quality is flawless, in any lighting environment. The MediCal QAWeb software for automated calibration and Quality Assurance guarantees top performance without interruptions. According to MarkeTech’s study, no fewer than 87 percent of radiologists experience physical discomfort when reading images, ranging from eye fatigue to back pain. With Coronis Uniti, Barco has paid special attention to ergonomics as well. The display optimizes the reading experience by mirroring a human’s natural field of vision. Its carefully designed format minimizes the need for head and eye movements, while also creating the perfect canvas for side-by-side comparison of multiple images. To reduce eye fatigue, the SoftGlow wall light adds ambient light to the reading room, while the SoftGlow task light shines a light on papers and film folders. Barco’s Optical Glass technology is also incorporated into the display, which reduces reflections and enhances image sharpness for greater viewing comfort. Additionally, Coronis Uniti can be turned into a virtual lightbox to compare film-based priors
