One of the most noteworthy additions – requirements that focused on a health care providers ability to comply with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) XR-29 Standard Attributes on CT Equipment Related to Dose Optimization and Management, also known as MITA Smart Dose.

We all know the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words." We decided to apply that expression towards a topic we know a lot about; refurbishing C-Arms. As much as we talk about refurbishing C-Arms and how important it is to make sure the refurbishment is done the right way, seeing is believing. Having said that, we have taken pictures of the entire process for you to see:

It’s no secret that healthcare in America is changing rapidly. And one of the innovations in medical imaging today is portable X-ray services.

In the constantly evolving world of healthcare and medical imaging, what’s new today could be in need of an upgrade tomorrow. It’s a challenge many hospitals and radiology offices face as they attempt to keep up with advancing technology. It’s also a primary consideration when hospitals and clinics decide to replace or update their existing equipment. When budgets are tight, many administrators must carefully decide whether the current equipment is negatively affecting patient outcomes or preventing the staff from making accurate diagnoses. It is a far too common assessment that can lead to older pieces of equipment remaining in use because they meet the minimum requirements.

Custom designed arms and legs being created on demand. Living tissue is carefully layered and molded to create a new nose or ear. Using the data from an ultrasound to model the face of baby while it’s still in the womb. To many these ideas sound like they’re stories straight out of a science fiction movie. In reality these are inventions that happened years ago. What’s happening now is even more exciting. Everything mentioned in this paragraph is possible today because of 3D printing.

Any clinic, hospital or practice providing imaging studies knows that times are changing, when it comes to reimbursement. It all started when The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016, was voted into law in 2015 and affect payments for imaging studies in 2018.

Your patients need accurate and specific needle placement for an interventional pain procedure—and the best way to do so is with fluoroscopy. However, that means you, your patient and other personnel will be exposed to radiation. So how do you reduce the risks?

For anyone who’s ever used or benefitted from the use of an MRI, we need to tip our hats to the experts at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. After all, that’s where the first clinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine was built and used to scan a human 35 years ago. And now it looks like the experts at the university are developing a new method of MRI which will provide significantly more detailed information about osteoarthritis, cancer, dementia and other diseases.

In hospitals and clinics around the world Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is relied on to provide an unmatched level of image quality. The MRI is used to view and diagnose complex injuries and diseases within the human body and plays a vital role in treatment of patients the world over. Its importance to the future of medicine is paramount, and while its usefulness is without question, the MRI scanner does have its drawbacks.
