Their new product, the Contrast Delivery System with RFID, helps reduce the risk of life-threatening medical errors and infections in CT imaging procedures. This system combines its prefilled contrast media syringe and the power injector to help technologists better ensure correct contrast media dosing.

IDC


Imaging Dynamics hails from Alberta, Canada, as one of the few DR companies that still manufactures their own detectors at good price points. They also deliver the highest line pair of resolution in the industry, offering several different models to fit in small clinics, orthopedic practices and mainstream hospitals.

Their booth was another that had one of the biggest spaces, situated right in the middle of the exhibition hall. Both of IDC's products at the show, the 1600+ and the 2200 were introduced in 2005, but were brought back because they were so well received. The 1600+ is an automated system seen in small clinics and outpatient centers. It was built to maximize speed and productivity in any of these sites.

"The 2200 is a dual detector fixed table designed to meet stringent demands within a trauma or ER department," said Carlos Cabral, Vice President of Sales, Mid-West Region.

The Sky Factory

The idea behind the SkyCeiling system and Virtual Windows, set up at Sky Factory's Booth, was to create authentic illusions of nature for places that have no windows or skylights. There are up to 1,000 landscapes to choose from to place within a window frame or on the ceiling.

"Some patients get nervous, impatient and claustrophobic before a procedure, so the products help patients relax before, during, and after an exam," said Karan Garg, Director of Marketing.

These products are present anywhere in hospitals, waiting rooms, individual patient rooms, hallways, etc. It has been out for 6 years now and enhancements, and new products, are still being made. The newest version arrived the first of this year, called the Programmable SkyCeiling system, where the light level and color temperature change in synchrony within a 24 hour cycle automatically. And, late last year, they created custom shapes for their systems, added new images periodically and a dim system that controls the intensity of light in the image.

In November, The Sky Factory is coming out with a moving sky using realistic movement. "My goal is to have something believable and to be able to look out through a structure and see the outdoors," said Garg.
