Here at Atlantis Worldwide, we sell a lot of OEC C-Arms. That being the case, we get asked all sorts of questions about them: Why is it called a C-Arm? Do I need Vascular Capabilities? Will this C-Arm fit in a 10’ x 12’ Room? When it comes to OEC 9800s, the question we hear the most often is, “What is the difference between an OEC 9800 and an OEC 9800 Plus?”

Each year, 95 million medical imaging scans are performed. 95 million! That’s something to celebrate, and during the week of November 2-8, the medical community will do just that. It’s National Radiologic Technology Week, an annual event sponsored by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) to celebrate the important role medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals plan in patient care and health care safety. The theme of this year’s weeklong event is Many Views with One Vision.

As we head into breast cancer awareness month and all things pink, it’s a good time to learn more about the equipment that is used to identify breast cancer. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to detect breast cancer during a mammography procedure. Sometimes the cancer is hard to see because it blends into breast tissue. The good news is, over the past 15 years there have been great advancements in digital mammography technology—especially in the ways that cancerous cells are located during a procedure. Computer-aided detection, or CAD, has almost become a standard addition to most mammography systems.

Have you had a bone scan done to measure bone density and fracture risk? If so, then you probably know what a bone densitometer is. It’s a specific kind of x-ray system that uses two x-ray beams to measure the calcium content of bone to reflect bone density and bone fracture risk. Each x-ray beam has a different energy level that’s aimed at the patient’s bones. The soft tissue absorption is subtracted, and then the Body Mineral Density (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry is the most popular bone density measurement technology used.
