The Medtronic O-arm® System is a fully
mobile 2D and 3D intra-operative X-ray
imaging system, using digital flat panel
technology and designed to transform
the surgical workflow with seamless
integration with surgical navigation.
Innovation you can touch.
Have you ever wished for a portable ultrasound system with the same image quality
as your premium cart-based machine? Have you ever dreamt about a sophisticated
and feature-rich portable system with built-in touch screen that makes it as easy to
use as your premium cart? Or have you ever thought about a portable machine that is
capable of sharing specialty transducers with your conventional high-end system.

Well, here it is: our new Viamo premium portable system.

As the inventor of the laptop PC and with decades of experience in ultrasonic

imaging we have created a stunning piece of imaging equipment. Small yet powerful.
Lightweight yet uncompromising when it comes to image quality. Easy to use yet
a fully-fledged ultrasound system.

Viamo – the new standard in portable ultrasound.

Hitachi Medical Systems:

Technology
improves life.

Dear Reader,
Radiology is – and will remain – the innovation driver in med-
ical technology. Today, those hospitals where the radiologists
saw the writing on the wall and pushed for digitalisation rather
than saving money by using cheap x-ray films are the top per-
formers. They considered process management more important
than cutting costs at any price.
The parallels between the European automobile industry
and the healthcare system are obvious. Ignatio Lopez, whom
VW lured away from Opel because he had the reputation of be-
ing a tough cost cutter, forced the suppliers to their knees – and
drove Volkswagen to the brink of bankruptcy. These days, VW
is being kept alive by Porsche, formerly a medium-sized enter-
prise looking into the abyss of insolvency before a courageous
management engineered a successful turn-around.
Just like Porsche’s Wendelin Wiedeking, for-

ward-looking managers of hospitals and ra-

diology practices have to seriously rethink

sound systems won’t suffice. Nevertheless,
high-performance modalities and IT systems
are the foundation of any healthcare service

reducing the need for additional CT im-

workflow to overcome the hurdles that

The ability to store multiple positions

normally eliminates the need for multiple
C-arms and allows the surgeon to within
seconds ‘park’ the gantry out of his/her
way. Motorization and position memory
are time effective solutions that reduce
the risk of errors due to manual move-
ments and that help create a controlled
environment for the surgery.
In my OR, the scrub nurses prefer to
use the O-arm® System, rather than the
2D fluoroscopy, because of its robotic
functions. With one touch on a button,
the O-arm® System slides carefully into
the correct position. It therefore is time-
saving and limits X-Ray exposure to the
personnel to the minimum.” says Dr. E.

Although CAD is widely accepted in the

United States with nearly all diagnostic
mammography workstations being or-
dered with the feature, CAD has been
slower to penetrate the European market
where double reading is the more com-
mon practice. With a growing shortage of
radiologists and the cost of doing double
reads, some think that CAD will start to
see greater acceptance in Europe in the
years ahead. Helping to support the
growth of CAD in Europe is Dr. Fiona
Gilbert and her colleagues’ in the United
Kingdom 2008 study of the screening re-
sults from 31,057 women undergoing
routine screening by film mammography.
The researchers found that a single read-
er with CAD produced comparable can-
cer detection rates to double reading

Selenia.
Not all mammography
systems are created equal
Selenia™ digital mammography completely eliminates light scatter,
giving you incredibly sharp and high contrast images in a matter
of seconds. Our new tungsten x-ray tube with a combination of
rhodium and silver filters provides optimal image quality while
minimizing dose over the entire range of breast thicknesses.

Hologic breast biopsy systems from upright and prone solutions to

the latest in stereotactic, ultrasound, and MRI guided breast biopsy
devices and markers are the preferred solution in leading hospitals
and imaging centers the world over.

Combine the power of Hologic digital mammography, dedicated

mammography workstations, breast biopsy systems, and R2
computer aided detection, and you’ll have a combination that
can’t be beat.

In the fight against breast cancer, early detection means hope for
millions of women. Find out more about our solutions for women's

How many boxes can you tick?

I’m considering a new scanning facility.
I lack of resources and capability to set up and manage a fixed imaging centre.
Our patient demand is not high enough to invest on an imaging centre.
I require extra imaging capacity.
We are upgrading/replacing our MRI, CT, PET or PET/CT, Cardiac Cath Lab. talk to us
If you have ticked at least one box,
Our building work will leave us without a scanning service for months. give us a call, we can help you.

O ur clinic Salus is a modern and cus-

tomer-friendly clinic located in the centre
of Rome. We are focussed on diagnostic
examinations using general x-ray and
mammography.
The change from conventional to dig-
ital radiography was made to improve
and extend the service to our customers.
The time had come to change our clinic
completely and go digital. To ensure a
smooth and flexible transition, we decid-
ed for the Konica Minolta Regius CR 190

their new and fast printer “Drypro 873”. solution
The small footprint of the devices and
the easy and user-friendly interface per-
fectly matched our requirements.
The ease of printing surprised even
us. The high quality mammography films
with the maximum density of 4.0 and the
general films were printed fast, easily and
with high quality. we will easily be able to print MR or CT option to expand our business and there
Of course we are also looking to the exams with the same equipment. is no concern about the compatibility
future, so the new printer of Konica The printer can also manage inputs with other modalities.
Minolta fitted perfectly in our plans. The from other modalities, because of the Thanks to the Drypro 873 character-
Drypro 873 can adapt easily to the ex- DICOM 3.0 compatibility. With this istics we where able to start working with
pansion of the Salus Clinic. In the future proven and tested interface we have the the system after only one day of installa-
tion. The short installation time enabled
us to help our customers with only a min-
imal delay in scheduling.

Aplio XG now holds a golden key for you.

Being a market leader in diagnostic ultrasound, excellent image quality is important to
us. But now we have a way to make it exceptional. Aplio XG’s new Precision Imaging
technology enables you to acquire ultrasonic images of unprecedented clarity and
resolution and thus lets you see more detail than with any other system.

Precision Imaging works hand in hand with other imaging functions like Differential
Tissue Harmonics or ApliPure+ to provide you with the highest resolution and the
finest detail. And naturally Precision Imaging can be combined with virtually any other
imaging mode such as Color Doppler or 3D/4D for even greater uniformity within
each application.
Now all you have to do is to turn that key and get the most spectacular images for
better informed disease management decisions.
