PACS/VNA
Competition intensifies in the VNA market
Vendor-neutral archives (VNAs) have finally moved to the forefront of healthcare IT spending, after years of debate on the value of keeping archiving separate from PACS. As demand for VNAs grows, the market is attracting a host of suppliers with a range of product types and strategies.

CVIS, RIS offer growth prospects amidst PACS saturation
While the PACS markets in most developed regions have reached a point of high saturation, the worldwide market for cardiovascular information systems (CVIS) and radiology information systems (RIS) is expected to be worth $600 million in 2012.

PACS reaches for the clouds, lands on managed services
Over the past year, the concept of cloud-based PACS has generated much excitement, as well as hype, uncertainty, and disillusionment. As a managed services model, however, cloud PACS will not achieve widespread adoption until technological and, most importantly, economic issues are addressed.

EVT promising in patients with extracranial ICA occlusions
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and best medical treatment are both effective and safe options for patients with acute extracranial internal carotid artery occlusions.
Images depict a 49-year-old female participant with cryptogenic cirrhosis who presented with a 3.2-cm liver lesion. This biopsy-confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with an initial categorization of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) category LR-4 (probably HCC) at CT was upgraded to LR-5 (definitely HCC) at contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). (A) Precontrast CT images in the liver show vague hypoattenuation in the medial left hepatic lobe (arrows). (B) Arterial phase images demonstrate no definite arterial phase hyperenhancement (arrows). (C) Washout and an enhancing capsule (arrows) on a late-phase image resulted in an LR-4 categorization. (D) B-mode ultrasound shows a round hypoechoic nodule (arrows). (E) An early-phase CEUS image shows clear arterial-phase hyperenhancement (arrows); (F) No washout at one minute (arrows), and (G) late, mild washout at four minutes (arrows) resulted in a CEUS LR-5 categorization.
