A photon-counting spectral detector based on the scanning multislit geometry from Sectra has been developed within the EU-funded Highrex project. It is used in clinical trials to evaluate photon counting tomosynthesis; spectral tomosynthesis; and contrast-enhanced spectral tomosynthesis. A theoretical model of the detector’s spectral performance has been developed and is used to predict the system …

Claes Lundström, Director of Radiology IT solutions at Sectra, invites radiology managers at RSNA to discuss how they can accomplish productivity gains.
“I’ve had several interesting discussions today which indicate that managers have reached an understanding that simply installing any RIS/PACS will not be enough to reach significant efficiency gains. Co-operating across borders, handling the data …

Anders Persson and Anders Ynnerman at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization in Linköping, Sweden (CMIV) are honoured with the Athena Prize for their development of new advanced methods regarding visualization and medical imaging. The most noted project is the application of virtual autopsies, which is already in use in forensic science.
The Athena Prize …

X–ray imaging has provided important diagnostic information for clinical applications for almost a century. It is well known that variations in x-ray attenuation create different grayscale levels that reveal detailed structural information with high spatial resolution. This remains true so long as the object components have differing x-ray absorption properties. X-rays have a spectrum of …

Visualization tools are becoming increasingly important in the radiology department. However, when words like 3D and MPR are mentioned most people’s thoughts go directly to advanced visualization applications. These applications are extremely capable in the specialized clinical areas they target, but they are not necessarily right for the everyday visualization needs most people face. A …
