The number of female radiologists has been slowly climbing over the years, and yet women only account for about 26.5 percent of practicing radiologists in the U.S.1,2 The number of women in radiology leadership positions, such as a managing partner, chair, or executive committee member, is even lower at just 13 percent.3 Imaging Technology News (ITN) recently spoke with Lisa Adams, CEO of Radiology Imaging Associates (RA) in Daytona Beach, Florida and the newly elected president of the Florida Radiology Business Management Association (FRBMA), about her career path, the increase of women in radiology leadership roles, and how participation in […]

The medical staff at Washington Health System—physicians, nurses, and technologists alike—take great pride in the care they deliver to their patients. The leadership team sought improvements and technological advancements that would evolve their care delivery and would help them to be even more forward-thinking. Washington Health System (WHS) is based in Washington, PA, a short drive south from Pittsburgh. In addition to the main hospital, they have five outpatient satellite facilities with imaging and a smaller hospital 25 minutes south. When it came time to search for a new information system provider, a vendor search team was formed that included […]

Andrew Krecek is hard-wired to solve problems. An electrical engineer by trade, he spent about a dozen years in software development, writing complex software for advanced process control systems like chemical reactors and did numerous projects for the pharmaceutical industry.  During that time, the integration between information systems and control systems began to happen. That’s when Krecek discovered he really enjoyed the IT component of his work.  In one position, he worked for a company that provided onsite clinical services for many large self-insured organizations such as Continental Airlines. He was also a consultant for several years, working on diverse […]

The end of the year is always an exciting time to work in enterprise imaging. RSNA, the biggest radiology tradeshow of the year, kicks off right after the last turkey day football game ends. Then, in the blink of an eye, the holidays and year are coming to an end, and you’re envisioning what new technology innovations the next calendar year will bring; Will 2021 be the year of remote reading? Will artificial intelligence (AI) become a new collaborative partner to radiologist workflow? Will imaging interoperability finally become a universal reality? At Fujifilm, some of our greatest enterprise imaging innovations […]

In 2024, nearly two-thirds of healthcare organizations surveyed about their cloud roadmap said they were either using the cloud for diagnostic image viewing and/or storageor would likely start using the […]

Over the past decade, upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy procedures in the U.S. have steadily increased – from 6.1 million in 2013 to 7.5 million in 2019. Studies are finding that an aging population with higher rates of reflux, ulcers, Barrett’s and gastric cancers are driving the demand for these essential procedures.

The image quality is excellent, the technology is very easy to use, and the patients really like the speed as well as the comfort. They like that they can get in and out in just a few minutes… [The ASPIRE Cristalle with DBT] makes me more confident as a radiologist.

The cesium detectors in Fujifilm’s FDR Go DR system helped the hospital achieve dose reductions of more than 50% over computed radiography techniques with equivalent or improved image quality

We have actually reduced radiation by 40 percent compared with CR. Wayne Couture, Director of Imaging and Cardiopulmonary Services at Androscoggin Valley Hospital.

After checking various vendors, the hospital eventually went with the FDR Go from FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. We were pleasantly surprised that our biggest [dose] reduction was from FDR Go.

It was taking us from 15 to 30 minutes, with an average of 21 minutes to do CR for scoliosis images. Once the technologists became comfortable working with the new detector, we got it down to six minutes [with the FDR D-EVO GL]– Ernest M. Chavez, Director of Radiology at Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

Workflow has greatly improved for our physicians. Our NICU doctors, for example, used to have to wait until the technologist processed each cassette before it could hit our PACS just to see the images. Now, doctors see the images right away.

Our emergency physicians and surgeons require a durable, easy to use, portable unit that delivers the highest level of imaging to make the right treatment decisions quickly and safely, there is no room for compromises.

Lexington, Mass. – FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise imaging and informatics solutions, today announced that RAYUS Radiology, one of the nation’s leading providers of advanced diagnostic and interventional radiology, has selected Fujifilm’s Synapse® Enterprise Information System (EIS) as the workflow management solution for its comprehensive network of over 150 imaging centers across the U.S.

Endobronchial ultrasound and transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the recommended first step for lung cancer staging. In this course, you’ll refine your skills in critical flexible bronchoscopy with a focus on EBUS-TBNA. Bronchoscopy experts will teach you essential skills for evaluating patients with suspected lung cancer. This course is recommended for pulmonary and critical care fellows and practicing pulmonologists who are growing their lung cancer practice and are looking to gain foundational skills in EBUS.

This course will provide education through lectures, case discussion, audience question and answer, and hands-on experience with animal models and device simulators. The goal is to highlight best practice techniques across the broad spectrum of therapeutic and biliary endoscopy. Washington University Interventional Endoscopy Section faculty, as well as nationally known therapeutic endoscopists from peer institutions in North America, will serve as faculty with in-room commentary, lectures, hands-on session and facilitating discussion during and between lectures and case presentations.
