Wayne, NJ, November 26, 2023 – Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc., announced today several new solutions in digital radiography (DR) and ultrasound that will be introduced at the 2023 Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting from November 26-30 in Chicago, IL. Through the company’s leadership advancing the capabilities of primary imaging, these new solutions are designed to enhance the patient experience and help clinicians see what matters most. Konica Minolta will showcase its full line of cutting-edge DR and point-of-care ultrasound systems for radiology departments, imaging centers, group practices and more.

Digital Radiography
Konica Minolta Healthcare has revolutionized X-ray with Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR), now available on four Konica Minolta systems to meet the versatile needs of providers, including the KDR® Advanced U-Arm, KDR® Flex Overhead, mKDR Xpress® Mobile and Chiro Straight Arm systems. As part of the RSNA scientific program, three presentations on DDR will highlight the clinical value of this technology across different sub-specialties. In thoracic imaging, Naga Sai Rasagna Mareddy, MBBS, Research Scholar at the University of Alabama Birmingham, will discuss research comparing DDR with nuclear medicine lung scintigraphy for lung perfusion assessment on Tuesday, November 28 from 12:45-1:15 pm in the Learning Center. Anmol Dhawan, MBBS, MD, from Bharti Hospital, Pune, India, will present an oral paper on his research comparing DDR to CT angiography in the evaluation of suspected pulmonary thromboembolism. Dr. Dhawan will present on Thursday, November 30 from 1:30-2:30 pm in room S501.


In musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging, the Department of Orthopaedics at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, in partnership with Konica Minolta Healthcare, has been evaluating the effectiveness of a novel machine-learning (ML) algorithm currently in development for automated evaluation of scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) from DDR images. John Sabol, PhD, Clinical Research Manager at Konica Minolta will share how the quantitative assessment of shoulder kinematics using the ML algorithm with DDR imaging has the potential to provide efficient and automated representation of SHR, enabling characterization of normal and multiple pathological shoulder motion conditions. This presentation is Wednesday, November 29 from 9:30-10:30 am in room E450A.

For more than a decade, AeroDR® has been synonymous with excellence in advanced flat panel detector technology. The AeroDR line of flat panel detectors, which includes AeroDR Glassless, AeroDR Carbon and AeroDR HD, deliver high-quality, low dose imaging in a lightweight, durable and ergonomic detector. At RSNA, Konica Minolta Healthcare launches its newest flat panel detector, the Universal DR 17 x 48 Long Detector, an advanced diagnostic solution to meet the needs of musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and neuro spine specialists. With single exposure imaging capabilities, Universal DR 17 x 48 captures the full spine or hip-to-ankle imaging without requiring multiple acquisitions or image stitching. This capability simplifies clinical workflow and reduces patient exposure to radiation dose. 20/20 Imaging, a division of Konica Minolta Healthcare, will also launch the detector for chiropractic practices.
