Radiotherapy Treatment Planning Tool from Varian
The FDA recently cleared a new radiotherapy treatment planning tool from Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, Calif. The Smart Segmentation feature, which has been added to Varian’s Eclipse treatment planning product, is a fully automatic tool that uses intelligent software to identify and outline organs and other structures within diagnostic images of the thorax and male pelvis. Smart Segmentation automatically identifies all structures of interest in under 45 seconds, enabling clinicians to begin the planning process with images that have the anatomical structures already outlined. Eclipse treatment planning applies to a wide array of radiation therapies, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, brachytherapy, and proton therapy.

Enhanced Version of CAD System from iCAD
New from iCAD Inc, Nashua, NH, is an update to its flagship SecondLook CAD system. The latest version, SecondLook 8.1, provides full support for film-to-digital conversion of prior x-ray films, while applying comprehensive CAD technology to the digitized images. The upgrade enables mammography centers to fully digitize current and prior mammography films and apply CAD either at the time of digitization or later in the workflow process. Radiologists can also compare new mammograms with priors, including those taken on film, on a single digital review workstation. The new version also contains the same advanced algorithms as all iCAD detection software, shown to detect up to 72% of actionable missed cancers an average of 15 months earlier than screening mammography alone.

Point-of-Care Blood Analyzer from E-Z-EM
A new blood analyzer from E-Z-EM Inc, Lake Success, NY, is a point-of-care device for conducting blood assays in patients prior to certain imaging procedures. EZ CHEM can perform a simple test for assessing kidney function within the imaging suite, producing results in as little as 30 seconds; it analyzes a finger-prick sample of blood for levels of creatinine, an important indicator of a patient’s renal function that often needs to be assessed before IV contrast agents can be administered. Currently, such blood tests must be sent to a lab before a patient can undergo a contrast-enhanced CT or MR procedure. Performing the test instantly at the point of care enables faster throughput, while facilitating screening for patients with renal insufficiency, an issue that has come into focus since the association of certain contrast agents with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
