(Booth 4771) Radiology equipment vendor Quantum Medical Imaging of Ronkonkoma, NY, will unveil its QV-9000 digital universal radiographic system, which includes the company's TechVision tube-side controller, in its RSNA booth.

QV-9000 includes automated positioning features: all positioning motions of the system's C-arm are motorized and synchronized, according to the company. The system can be positioned from either the digital operator's control monitor or with Quantum's TechVision feature, which allows the technologist to modify exposure parameters and preview images from tube-side.

Also on display will be Quantum's DiRex system, a combination of Agfa HealthCare's DX-S CR system and Quantum's radiographic unit. DiRex also incorporates TechVision, as well as Agfa's DirectriX needle point technology, and is available as a ceiling-mounted tube system, floor-mounted tube system, or QV-8000 Universal system.

Finally, Quantum will highlight a new TechVision feature: the package now includes a complete two-way generator integration and image preview function with all Quantum and Canon Medical Systems units.

An example that features an AI-generated report that identified “scattered pulmonary granulomatous calcifications.” In the first session, three of five readers specifically reported the presence of a nodule. Following the introduction of the AI-generated report, only one reader maintained the specific mention of a nodule, whereas the other four readers adapted their reports to include the AI-suggested terminology of “granulomatous calcifications.” AP = anterior-posterior.
