Dear AuntMinnie Member,
CT was one of the hottest modalities at last month's RSNA show, with imaging vendors demonstrating new products ready for clinical use as well as futuristic technologies that may not find their way into routine practice for years to come.
Our newest AuntMinnieTV series, Advances in CT Technology, explores both the present and the future of CT through multimedia reports so real it's almost like being at McCormick Place, watching vendors put new products through their paces.
This week we feature multimodality vendor GE Healthcare of Chalfont St. Giles, U.K. GE made a number of new CT product announcements at the RSNA show, ranging from its new BrightSpeed family of CT scanners to new applications for its flagship LightSpeed VCT 64-slice CT scanner.
You'll also learn about cutting-edge new technologies in GE's product pipeline, such as LightSpeed Xtra, a work-in-progress large-bore scanner for bariatric, interventional, and radiation therapy planning applications, and an investigational technique for conducting cardiac CT scans with lower radiation dose.
Check out the new segment by clicking here. You can also find our first Advances in CT Technology report, on Philips Medical Systems, by visiting our RSNA 2005 Video Gallery, and stay tuned next week for our report on CT start-up firm NeuroLogica of Danvers, MA.
