Portable, affordable CR system fills value niche
Budget-strapped healthcare providers can bootstrap their way into digital imaging with a new low-cost CR system from Radlink.
Budget-strapped healthcare providers can bootstrap their way into digital imaging with a new low-cost CR system from Radlink.
The CR Pro, introduced at the RSNA meeting, delivers high-resolution, diagnostic-quality images using sealed fiberoptic laser technology developed by the company.
The low-maintenance CR Pro requires little or no internal calibration or adjustment during its service life, according to Radlink. It also demands little downtime for cleaning and preventive upkeep.
Because of its small footprint (3.86 square feet), CR Pro can fit into just about any workflow setting, including a stand-alone operation or a PACS or teleradiology environment. The console-based unit can be wheeled anywhere in facility. It is sold as a turnkey solution for portable, mobile, and remote applications.
The system supports plate sizes ranging from 8 x 10 inches to 14 x 17 inches and can process per hour approximately 31 plates measuring 14 x 17 inches or 44 plates measuring 8 x 10 inches. It provides a gray-scale resolution of 16 bits per pixel, according to the company, and supports a wide variety of application options, including DICOM print and modality work list.
AI Facilitates Nearly 83 Percent Improvement in Turnaround Time for Fracture X-Rays
December 19th 2023In addition to offering a 98.5 percent sensitivity rate in diagnosing fractures on X-ray, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software reportedly helped reduce mean turnaround time on X-ray fracture diagnosis from 48 hours to 8.3 hours, according to new research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

Can an Emerging PET Radiotracer Enhance Detection of Prostate Cancer Recurrence?
December 14th 2023The use of 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI demonstrated a 35 percent higher sensitivity rate than MRI alone for the diagnosis of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, according to research recently presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
RSNA 2020: Addressing Healthcare Disparities and Access to Care
December 4th 2020Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.
Can AI Improve Detection of Extraprostatic Extension on MRI?
December 4th 2023Utilizing a deep learning-based AI algorithm to differentiate between diagnostic and non-diagnostic quality of prostate MRI facilitated a 10 percent higher specificity rate for diagnosing extraprostatic extension on multiparametric MRI, according to research presented at the recent RSNA conference.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
