Carestream Molecular debuts new preclinical imaging camera

Carestream Molecular Imaging has added the In-Vivo Xtreme to its family of multimodal imaging products for preclinical research. Xtreme will be introduced at the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) Sept. 7-10 in San Diego.

Xtreme currently comes in two camera configurations, according to the Woodbridge, Conn.-based company. The front-illuminated 16MP camera is suited for high-resolution applications, while the back-illuminated 4MP camera is appropriate for low light imaging experiments. 

Other features of the Xtreme, according to Carestream Molecular, include:
  • An f/1.1 lens coupled with a CCD sensor for fluorescence, luminescence and radioisotopic imaging;
  • A radiographic phosphor screen coupled with a micro focus x-ray head;
  • New Multiplex software with quantitative tools;
  • A 20 x 20 cm FOV and wide-angle emission filters;
  • A 400W Xenon illumination source to be used across all wavelengths from the visible and NIR spectrum; and  
  • The Multimodal Animal Rotation System.

Xtreme comes with MI Software, a suite of tools for acquisition, visualization and quantification of imaging data. Researchers who also need to perform quantitative 3D tomographic imaging can complement the In-Vivo Xtreme with Carestream’s Albira PET/SPECT/CT system.

The American College of Cardiology has shared its perspective on new CMS payment policies, highlighting revenue concerns while providing key details for cardiologists and other cardiology professionals. 

As debate simmers over how best to regulate AI, experts continue to offer guidance on where to start, how to proceed and what to emphasize. A new resource models its recommendations on what its authors call the “SETO Loop.”

FDA Commissioner Robert Califf, MD, said the clinical community needs to combat health misinformation at a grassroots level. He warned that patients are immersed in a "sea of misinformation without a compass."
