Agreement to Market Image Acquisition System with Wireless DR Detector

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 27 Oct 2009

InfiMed, Inc. (Liverpool, NY, USA) and Carestream Health, Inc. (Rochester, NY, USA) have signed a worldwide marketing agreement enabling InfiMed to immediately begin selling Carestream Health's new portable wireless detector as part of its unique image acquisition system.

Sales representatives from InfiMed will market its i5DR digital image acquisition system in combination with Carestream Health's wireless detector to both dealer and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. Carestream Health's portable digital radiography (DR) detector quickly and cost-effectively upgrades analog X-ray rooms to digital capabilities without the need to replace existing hardware. The system's wireless capability enables faster patient throughput and increased productivity.

The i5DR features sophisticated image processing and integrated on-screen generator control. With a streamlined workflow and color touch screen controls, the system is optimized for faster patient throughput, flexibility, and increased usability.

In combination with Carestream Health's wireless detector, the i5DR system can be integrated into virtually any X-ray room, extending the lifetime of existing equipment, and provides a cost-effective solution for healthcare providers of all sizes. Commercial sale of the i5DR with Carestream Health's wireless digital detector is pending U.S. food and Drug Demonstration (FDA) 510(k) clearance.

InfiMed is a developer of digital medical acquisition, image processing, and sensor solutions. These systems are used in hospital cath labs, X-ray departments, imaging centers, and trauma centers worldwide. InfiMed also collaborates on a global scale with a wide range of OEMs and dealers, providing engineering and R&D resources for development and integration of leading-edge medical technology.

Carestream Health is a worldwide provider of dental and medical imaging systems and healthcare information technology (IT) solutions; molecular imaging systems for the life science research and drug discovery/development market segments; and X-ray film and digital X-ray products for the nondestructive testing market.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
