ICE Catheters: Improving Care for 2 million+ Patients
Four leading physicians in intracardiac echocardiography talk about the milestones achieved with ACUSON AcuNav 2D and 4D intracardiac echo catheters over the last 24 years.
Inside the next-gen hybrid cath lab
When the time came to select new angiography equipment at Benefis Health System in Montana, Michael Eisenhauer, MD, named three attributes the new suite would have to deliver without compromise. Number 1 was image quality. Number 2 was image quality. Number 3? Say it one more time.
X-ray Vision—Building a Hybrid OR: The Plan, Team & Tactics to Do Imaging Right
When North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley set out to build a new hybrid OR equipped with robotic angiography, they had no idea the project would set a new bar for project planning and execution across the health system, bring “exponential improvements” in image quality and “exponential reductions” in radiation dose and contrast media, or that they’d finish the project almost a month early without a single change order and $600,000 under budget. Teamwork, meticulous planning and virtual reality-guidance played an essential role in refining and perfecting this image-guided surgery suite even before a pen was put to paper.
Driving quality with imaging CDS: The right exam for the right reason
When it comes to ramping up on imaging clinical decision support, now is the time to assess your choices, set expectations, map out a plan and get the wheels of implementation turning. Imaging leaders need to play a key role in implementing CDS, educating ordering physicians and ensuring program success.
CVIS Across the Enterprise: Transforming Reporting & Image Access at Northwestern
The vision was clear. The experienced heart and vascular team at the Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute in Chicago needed a cardiovascular information system (CVIS) to stretch across its seven hospitals and 100 ambulatory care centers, physician offices and clinics.
