Re-posted from Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Europe with permission. Timed to coincide with the date (8th November) of the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895, the International day of radiology (IDoR) has now evolved into an annual event of “action and awareness” organized by the

Now available, the third-generation design: the CARESTREAM DRX Plus Detector takes DR to a new level. This white paper,

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a variant of traditional computed tomography (CT) and was first described in the late 1970s. The main difference between the two approaches is the volume of the object that is imaged at one time. In traditional CT, a narrow

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. October's Image Challenge was guessed correctly relatively quickly. It was the sole of a running sneaker. The x-ray image for November is below. The challenge will run until the end of

This white paper addresses the benefits of a prototype cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system dedicated to extremity imaging. The CBCT system was co-developed by scientists at Carestream Health and Johns Hopkins University. The CBCT system was designed to image both upper and lower extremities, with the

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. September's Image Challenge, a ball in a baseball mitt, was never guessed correctly (although there were some good guesses), so let’s see if we can make things

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. August's Image Challenge, a wind-up toy, was guessed pretty quickly, so let’s see if we can make things a little more difficult this month.. The image for September

It’s a new month so that means it is time for a new “Guess the X-ray” Image Challenge. July's Image Challenge was particularly difficult, as nobody has identified it, so we will continue to keep that open if people want to try another. Let’s see

Many young football players dream of playing in the NFL. My dream was to work for an NFL team and care for the medical needs of these skilled athletes. Anyone who has watched an NFL game has seen the elite athleticism—and its potential for injuries. Our

Ocean Expo Park houses the aquarium and is a national government park located on the site of the Okinawa International Ocean Exposition held in 1975.
Read MoreDRX-Revolutionが海洋博公園沖縄美ら海水族館に導入され、イルカなど海洋動物たちの撮影に貢献しています。 ここ海洋博公園は1975年に開催された沖縄国際海洋博覧会跡地に設置された国営公園で、沖縄の観光スポットのひとつとして人気のある沖縄美ら海水族館もこの公園の中にあります。約740種21000点ほどの沖縄近海に生息する生物を飼育しています。 動物管理チームサブリーダーの植田啓一氏は常駐する医師の一人で、動物の健康管理・体調管理を担当しています。インタビューで植田氏は、特に動物を水から出して固定及び拘束時間を考慮しなければならない点や種別に応じて撮影線量を変えなければならない点など、人と動物の撮影方法の違いを述べています。 動物の種別によっては非常に大型になるので、高線量で高画質な画像が確実に取得できること、カセッテを都度交換することなく何枚も撮影できることなどが求められます。 魚類チーム 主任技師の柳澤牧央氏は「Revolutionは、イルカの下に入れたカセッテを一回づつ入れ替えずにそのまま撮り続けることができるのが、今まで現像しないといけなかったものに比べると利点だと思います。」と述べています。 水族館は病院と違って廊下が整備されていなかったり、本体を押したり引いたりすることが困難な場合が多いのですが、DRX-Revolutionは軽い力で簡単に動かすことができ小回りが利くので非常に便利であると述べています。 インタビュービデオではDRX-Revolutionでの撮影の様子やスタッフのインタビュー内容をご覧いただけます。 An English version of this post can be read here.
