Image processing and PACS firm OR Technology has made a number of new installations of its technology throughout Europe.

The company reported that its DicomPACS software is now in use at MBAL Kardajli in Kardalji, Bulgaria, and at Cabinet Médical in Cossonay-Ville, Switzerland.

The firm's Leonardo DR mini digital radiography (DR) system with a 12 x 10-inch detector has been installed in Waidhofen/Thava, Austria, while the Polyclinique Marie-Christine in Brussels, Belgium, has upgraded to a Medici DR system with a wireless detector.

New analysis emerges from SCOT-HEART CT study

By Frances Rylands-Monk

The SCOT-HEART team has unveiled novel data on preventative therapy use in a large coronary CT angiography patient cohort. A second study is well underway and may lead to coronary artery disease screening.

German team supports use of endovascular thrombectomy

Researchers from Hamburg say endovascular thrombectomy is a safe and effective option in cases of acute extracranial internal carotid artery occlusions.

January 23, 2025

Images in a 74-year-old male patient who presented at the hospital with acute symptoms of a right hemispheric ischemic stroke and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 24. (A) Nonenhanced CT image shows no signs of early infarction, whereas (B) CT perfusion image shows a large perfusion deficit in the territory of the middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery caused by an extracranial occlusion in the right internal carotid artery. (C) Digital subtraction angiography shows the occlusion in the C1 segment. The extracranial occlusion was passed, reperfused, and subsequently stented (D, E). The final contrast injection did not reveal any intracranial occlusions within the territory of the internal carotid artery (F). At the 24-hour follow-up, there was no infarction on (G) the nonenhanced CT image, and the NIHSS score had decreased to 3 points. Image courtesy of RSNA.
