Hitachi Medical Systems America
The Cleveland-based company highlighted its latest software for its Oasis Bore-Less MR system at this year's RSNA, including Tigre-C, a new abdominal imaging feature with increased SNR and temporal resolution. Hitachi also shared the new capabilities for its Echelon 1.5T, such as Blood Sensitive Imaging (BSI) for the depiction of small veins and hemorrhage. The company also demonstrated a new non-contrast MRA technique called Vasc-Asl.
ICRco
On its website, ICRco wrote that the company plans to unveil a new, "never seen" imaging device that "will change how digital imaging is done today."
The secret was revealed at iCRco's booth as Fusion DCR -- the world's first CR and DR device. Fusion enables providers to scan CR imaging plates in the DR unit and is a fraction of the cost of other DR solutions, according to the Torrance, Calif.-based company. More product details are sure to come in the following weeks.
IMIX Americas Inc.
IMIX generated a buzz on the floor with its DRxpress, an entry-level digital radiography system at RSNA. The system offers the benefits of DR at a price comparable to CR or film. Rick Sbordone, the Sterling, Virginia-based company's CEO, told DOTmed News IMIX is particularly excited to offer the new product in the current uncertainty of the health care environment. IMIX will offer monthly payment plans for its solutions, which include hardware, software, service and obsolescence protection to ensure affordability.
