GE Healthcare - Booth 4839, 5529, Hall A.   The Senographe DS is the only digital mammography system that integrates screening, diagnosis and interventional capabilities all in one system. GE unveils its RIS-IC solution; also highlight new developments deriving from the joint Centricity-IW product and the next generation Centricity PACS-IW version 2.7.1. The new Discovery PET/CT 600 delivers the next evolution in PET/CT technologies and offers the scintillator with the highest sensitivity in the industry, the next generation of MotionFree technology to capture detail and precision in areas subject to motion, plus enhanced workflow and fast reconstruction with the IBM BladeCenter®.

Varian Medical Systems - Booth 6221, Hall A. The booth will highlight the company's full line of PaxScan® flat-panel digital X-ray image detectors for digital radiography, fluoroscopy and cone-beam CT imaging, including the PaxScan 4336R, which replaces standard film cassettes in radiographic applications and the PaxScan 4343R, Varian's largest panel for applications requiring a large field of view. In addition, Varian will showcase the company's full line of X-ray tubes, along with the company's cancer treatment technologies, including RapidArc radiotherapy technology, which offers all the benefits of IMRT in dramatically shorter treatment times, as well as solutions for brachytherapy, image-guided radiotherapy (GRT) and proton therapy. Included will be the company's software solutions, including the ARIA oncology information system and Eclipse treatment planning, as well as architecture for a new Oncology PACS for long-term image management and storage. Varian's Oncology PACS is being designed to furnish oncology departments with a scalable, integrated image storage solution with a web-based interface that adheres to industry standard DICOM RT and HL7 communication protocols.

Quantum Medical Imaging - Booth 3665, Hall A. The focus would be on QV-9000 Digital Radiographic System, "one-button" automated positioning feature, and all positioning motions of this C-arm type system are fully motorized and synchronized for maximum patient throughput. The system can be easily positioned from either the operator's control monitor or from Quantum's unique "TechVision." The unit features a versatile C-arm design, which maintains constant alignment between the X-ray tube and the image receptor; regardless of C-arm tilt position or image receptor angle. They will also be exhibiting Di-Rex SP, Q-Rad Digital, a new series of cassette holders and a rolling stand.
