Siemens Healthcare has installed three Aucson S2000 portable ultrasound systems at the nonprofit London Clinic in England.

PHILADELPHIA—What began as single-slice CT scanning has now evolved into dynamic volume scanning, utilizing as many as 320 detectors. The possibilities for wide-area detector technology include consistently low radiation exposure for coronary CT angiography (CCTA), as well as myocardial perfusion imaging, kinetic opacification slopes that distinguish between normal and diseased arteries and vascular profiling, according to Frank Rybicki, MD, PhD, who spoke July 21 at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM).

Computer-aided analysis (CAA) showed high sensitivity and high negative predictive value for the evaluation of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) on 64-slice cardiovascular CT angiography (CCTA) across three populations with differing CAD prevalence, suggesting that CAA could be used in clinical practice, based on a study presented this week at the fifth annual meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT).

Siemens Healthcare has released its new ultrasound system, the Acuson S2000, a multi-specialty system for applications including general imaging, obstetrics and gynecology, as well as vascular and cardiac imaging.
