From a CT scan an interactive model can be created by AI of a patient’s heart to better understand the electrical substrates of the tissue and identify areas of arrhythmias for ablation procedure pre-planning. This technology was displayed by InHeart at the Heart Rhythm Society 2024 meeting this weekend in Boston and showed how imaging can help enhance EP procedures and the understanding of patient conditions prior to catheterization and invasive catheter electromapping of the heart.

Mobile DR X-ray systems from various vendors all have similar functionality for the most part, but it is often little things that make a system standout. This system has a horn to warn people to move out of the way when moving down a hallway.
There was a lot of feedback that this was a cool feature from attendees who saw a demo of this United Imaging uDR 380i Pro system at RSNA 2023 last week.

Example of 3D liver Doppler blood flow imaging showing a clearer differentiation between the portal vein and hepatic artery, which traditionally has been very difficult to see on ultrasound because the two vessels are located next to each other.

An example of a CT angiography coronary artery curved plane reformatting so the radiologist can follow the vessel easily to assess soft and calcified plaques. This was scanned using a GE Revolution CT system, which has technology to reduce or eliminate calcium blooming and metal artifact streaking.
GE will be displaying this system at the 2023 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting Nov. 26–29 in Chicago. This example was shown at the SCCT meeting earlier this year.

Example of the high speed medical image dataset transfer speeds on newer cloud-based enterprise imaging systems at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 meeting. Change Healthcare here demonstrates the speed to open a CT dataset of more than 500 images in just a couple seconds. It has a bar on the right side of the page that shows the progress of the image downloads. The user can also begin to scroll through the image slices immediately.

A view from a training video shown by startup artificial intelligence (AI) company UltraSight where the AI will show novice sonographers proper placement and angle of the transducer to get optimal echocardiograms. It was demonstrated at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2022 meeting in March.
Cardiac ultrasound image quality depends largely on the operator and can be extremely variable. This AI tool is designed to compensate for this and help make all echo exams comparable across operators, regardless of their level of experience. The system uses a small picture shown here in the corner of the screen show tell the user how to position the probe and uses a color coded line to show when they are in, or approaching the correct positioning.
Northwestern Medicine in Chicago is already using a similar AI guided technology to help its point of care ultrasound (POCUS) users get better cardiac assessments.
