Understanding Marker Bands in Medical TechnologyMarker bands are essential components in modern medical devices, providing critical visibility and precision during minimally invasive procedures. These small metallic rings are integrated into catheters, guidewires, and implants to enhance real-time tracking under imaging systems like X-ray, fluoroscopy, and MRI.Why Marker Bands MatterEnhanced ...
Marker bands have become indispensable in modern medicine, playing a crucial role in medical imaging and minimally invasive procedures. They act as significant indicators during real-time imaging, helping surgeons and radiologists achieve exceptional precision. With the increasing demand for precision and safety in medical instruments, innovations in marker band technology have pushed the ...
When it comes to interventional procedures, the ability to accurately and precisely target tissue structures has always been a challenge. However, in today's ever-evolving medical landscape, innovation is on the rise – one of which is platinum-iridium, marker bands. Built with advanced technology and customizable features, platinum-iridium marker bands are revolutionizing how physicians ...
Zwanger Pesiri Radiology is an innovative chain of 32 outpatient radiology centers that stretch across Long Island and New York City. Unlike many groups of imaging centers, they aren’t affiliated with any hospitals and so don’t benefit from hospital reimbursement rates or referrals. ...
To understand the significance of the SpinTech MRI STAGE software platform, it helps to begin by asking a question: Given that MRI is an incredibly powerful diagnostic tool for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis (MS), why have radiologists and neurologists had to choose between conducting faster MRI exams and obtaining higher-quality ...
The use of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is often viewed as incompatible with current standard radiology workflows. Some radiologists or departments may be unaware of its existence or purpose. Despite the skepticism surrounding its viability in a clinical setting, QSM shows great potential in a wide range of clinical applications, particularly for biomarker detection and ...
Thousands of patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are set to benefit from a lifesaving procedure using a new blood clot grabbing device pioneered by NHS specialists. The treatment involves inserting a stent, a tiny, ball- shaped wire cage into a blocked vein. Once in position, the collapsible cage is expanded and ‘ catches’ the clot. When the device is pulled out, the ...
The start of coronavirus pandemic pushed limits of healthcare systems all over the world by causing thousands of deaths and the requirement of a huge quantity of healthcare resources. When WHO declared COVID19 as a pandemic, the whole world came to standstill. Half of the world population is confined to their home except for essential services. In the year 2016, when GOI announced ...
The use of computer vision in radiology may have advantages for both patients and medical facilities. However, some worry that machine learning (ML) may one day replace doctors because it can outperform them. The desire for increased efficiency and efficacy in clinical care has been the primary motivating reason behind the development of AI in medical imaging. Recent technological developments, ...
CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old female recently diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer presented with acute new onset of lower back pain. The patient was taking chemotherapy, participating in a drug therapy trial, and had received radiation therapy. There was no history of acute trauma to the pelvic or acetabular region. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral fragility fractures, with ...

Supply-chain issues are everywhere. From microchips to baby formula to lumber, shortages have seemingly become the norm rather than the exception over the past couple of years. Few industries have been spared, including radiology. For just one example, consider supply-chain fluctuations in medical isotopes that are used daily in tens of thousands of procedures. The most recent notable example ...
