Patients in an underserved area of the U.S. now have access to high-quality, low-dose lung cancer screening because of a mobile CT unit equipped with a universal CT image reconstruction add-on system.

Back in the early 1900s, Nobel Prize-winning physicist (and father of x-ray technology) Wilhelm Roentgen wrote a letter to one of the first manufacturers of x-ray tubes. In it, he asked the company for a better discount on x-ray tubes, because he needed quite a few and the cost was too expensive.

SafeCT Iterative 3D Image Reconstruction—Universal Add-on System for CT Scanners

Watch Medic Vision’s video about SafeCT, an iterative image reconstruction add-on product that enhances low-dose protocols on your CT scanner. 

Atlantis Worldwide is the exclusive US representative

Visit Atlantis Worldwide at the Virtual Symposium on Radiation Safety in Computed Tomography.  We will have a virtual exhibit booth in the Software Section on SafeCT, a universal iterative image reconstruction solution that substantially enhances the Signal-to-Noise(SNR) of CT images acquired over a wide range of exposure parameters on CT scanners of all vendors..

Okay, the Atlantis Worldwide hospitality suite was rockin’, complete with a martini bar, hits from all the James Bond Classics, some old visitors Sean Connery, Ursula Andress and Halle Berry from the 007 Movies and Dr. No playing on the back walls.  The music, karaoke and ambience at The Coca Cola Museum was a bubbly experience.  And who didn’t love the coke?  As anyone who attended the annual Health Connect Partners Radiology and Imaging Conference in Atlanta in April can tell you, the conference was a huge success in many ways.   It offered a great balance of networking opportunities, industry learning and sharing, panel discussions and FUN.

Having been to Boston many times, I have to say that last week was a different experience.  The ASCA (Ambulatory Surgery Center Association) Show from April 17th to 19th, 2013 will be a show to remember.

In the third segment Tim Lamb explains the benefits of SafeCT, an iterative image reconstruction add-on product that enhances low-dose protocols on your CT scanner.  Unsurpassed image quality, compatibility, scalability, performance and cost saving are some of the topics. 

If you’ve been considering adding a C-Arm to your practice or facility, it’s important to arm yourself with as much information as possible.  After all, when you’re making a purchase that’s going to cost thousands, you want to make sure it fits your needs, as well as your budget. 

When an Imaging Provider wants to upgrade their system, downsize a department, etc., one of the biggest concerns is “How much will we get for our old system?”  Regardless of why you get rid of an existing system, a used CT, MRI, C-Arm or Mammography is usually a valuable asset.  With budgets tightening and reimbursements shrinking, imaging providers need more than ever to get as much value out of their resources as possible.  Let me help you get the most out of your old asset.

Over the last few months I have spoken to quite a few doctors who are looking to open a new office and want to purchase a C-Arm.
