Siemens unveils enhancements to Axiom Sireskop SD
Siemens Medical Solutions has introduced at the RSNA meeting a digital enhancement and mobile flat-panel detector for its Axiom Sireskop SD. With the addition of those upgrades, all Siemens AX systems are now available in a digital format.
Siemens Medical Solutions has introduced at the RSNA meeting a digital enhancement and mobile flat-panel detector for its Axiom Sireskop SD. With the addition of those upgrades, all Siemens AX systems are now available in a digital format.
"We are helping our customers reach their goals of improving workflow and patient throughput, and more important, patient care," said Manfred Fink, vice president of the Siemens angiography and x-ray division.
The Sireskop SD is a universal system designed to streamline fluoroscopy and radiography operations, as well as patient flow, during fluoroscopic and radiographic procedures. It gives medical professionals a single imaging system for procedures ranging from pediatrics to bariatrics.
The enhancement will enable facilities to improve workflow by decreasing the steps required to process images without film or cassettes, Fink said. Additionally, the system provides an integrated workstation that allows technologists to focus more on the patient during postprocessing.
The tableside-controlled system includes comprehensive dose reduction and high-capacity x-ray tubes to provide flexibility for various patient types without sacrificing image quality. The Sireskop SD also has a wide table and high weight limit to accommodate heavier patients. It meets the performance standards common to other Axiom products, such as enhanced workflow and efficiency, optimal image quality, reduced radiation dose, and patient comfort.
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.
