Continuum of care: The never-ending healthcare story?
"Escalating health costs, poor economic performance, and rising incidence of chronic disease are driving development of value-based healthcare in the European market." Sound familiar? This is one of the most consistently quoted trends attributed to healthcare investment in Europe. But how is this actually manifesting itself in the development of medical imaging and IT solutions?

Europeans choose combined x-ray over single units
X-ray equipment has traditionally had dedicated systems for specific exams. In 2014, the European market shifted toward having one combined system that can be used for multiple exams. Cost is one of the main drivers behind this trend.

Why all the hype about retrofit flat-panel detectors?
The retrofit flat-panel detector market accounted for around 3% of general radiography x-ray unit shipments in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in 2012, and the figure is forecast to increase to 5% by 2017. We look at what's driving the market and analyze the key trends.

What brain mechanisms drive depression in older adults?
A Belgian PET study has shown that mechanisms other than amyloid brain deposits may underlie depressive symptoms in people later in life.
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.
