If certainty is the holy grail of diagnostic breast imaging, then opto-acoustic ultrasound is the treasure map showing exactly where to find it. While other imaging modalities can help distinguish a benign lesion from a malignant mass, only OA/US provides the radiologist with a more definitive diagnosis without invasive medicine, ionizing radiation or claustrophobic dread.

Konica Minolta Healthcare is introducing Exa Enterprise, a new enterprise imaging solution that encompasses the Exa PACS-RIS core powered by AWS’s proven cloud solution and its data. This new enterprise cloud solution will deliver exceptionally fast access to data and boost efficiency across imaging specialties.

Few radiology subspecialties can match breast imaging at adopting new imaging modalities to improve patient care. Consider: The past 10 to 15 years have seen the rise of digital breast tomosynthesis, automated breast ultrasound, breast MRI (with and without diffusion weighting), low-dose positron emission mammography and contrast-enhanced dual-energy digital mammography. That’s just to name a few.  

It’s been two and a half years since Microsoft completed its acquisition of Nuance Communications for a reported $19.7 billion. At the time of the March 2022 transaction, Microsoft said it liked Nuance for its core strengths—AI-powered voice recognition and related software and services—across numerous industries.

A recent 2024 PocketHealth survey of 202 U.S. hospital and imaging center decision-makers highlights the significant challenges healthcare providers face with legacy image exchange systems. The survey and conversations with industry leaders reveal that these outdated solutions impact both operational efficiency and patient satisfaction, often resulting in additional workload and increased costs.

Five years ago, two key takeaways from a survey of their pathologists sent NorthShore University HealthSystem toward the front lines of a technological revolution: digital pathology.

The team almost unanimously agreed that, first, it was time to consider AI as an aid to microscopic tissue analysis. And second, 73% wanted the flexibility to work remotely at another site or at home, at least sometimes, via telepathology.
