Radcal - Booth 3705, Hall A
The Radcal ACCU-PRO Multi-Purpose Analyzer with basic and advanced Dose and kVp functions, mAs will be showcased. The system provides excellent Dose and kV- accuracy including scatter and leakage measurements. A wide variety of ion chambers/sensors used and trusted by professionals worldwide are available to fit the specific application needs. Ion chambers with automatic temperature and pressure compensation for critical acceptance testing and dose diodes for QA consistency tests, as well as rechargeable batteries for several hours of uninterrupted measurements make the ACU-PRO the system of choice.

Kopp Development Inc. - Booth 5504, Hall A

Kopp will sound an alarm with its Ferromagnetic Detectors that help screen patients for objects left on their person. The FerrAlert™ ferromagnetic detector, which was calibrated to sound an alarm when it detected an object is designed as a portal that patients can walk through. With a positive alarm, patients are searched for metallic objects and rescreened. The apparatus shows excellent sensitivity and specificity for detecting even small ferromagnetic articles on patients prior to MR imaging. Proper screening of patients and personnel using a ferromagnetic detector may help decrease MR imaging-related adverse effects.

Carestream - Booth 8342, Hall B
Carestream Health Inc. is unveiling a new SuperPACS™ architecture that will allow healthcare providers to efficiently connect disparate PACS at multiple sites throughout a healthcare system. This new architecture, currently a work in progress will provide an umbrella structure that communicates with existing PACS from multiple vendors to help create an efficient enterprise-wide PACS that will offer a unified, common global worklist; effectively use existing PACS systems, avoiding replacement costs; apply customer-defined rules to route specific types of exams to preferred radiologists for that specialty; and improve radiologist productivity through a single desktop with one user interface and one set of clinical application tools.

Carestream Health will also demonstrate the newest upgrades to its PACS platform (currently a work in progress) that feature advanced applications and support for the PIX (patient cross identification) standard. New applications will include: real time matching of volumetric data from CT-L MR and PET-CT cases along with synchronized views and image manipulations' native support for PET-CT fusion with PET standard uptake value, PET-CT synchronized views and volume matching of current and prior cases; and power viewer to read and compare studies using 2D/3D views with support for automatic volume matching.
