Samsung Electronics, a leader in medical imaging technology, is showcasing the latest diagnostic imaging medical devices at the 2018 European Congress of Radiology (ECR), held at the Austria Centre Vienna this week.
At booth #506 (Expo. X5), Samsung is displaying medical equipment based on its ‘AccE™’ (Access, Accuracy and Efficiency) strategy, which aims to change the industry by incorporating innovations in physical access to provide care wherever needed. Samsung also seeks to improve accuracy in diagnosis with advanced algorithms and efficiency with advanced display, UX and information management technology developed by Samsung Electronics.
“Samsung is committed to medical advancements for both diagnostic solutions and patient care. We will continue to develop optimized medical equipment to healthcare providers by combining our key values in the pursuit of Access, Accuracy and Efficiency,” said Dongsoo Jun, President of Health & Medical Equipment Business at Samsung Electronics and CEO of Samsung Medison.
Within ultrasound systems, Samsung has made great achievements in Obstetrics and Gynecology and will continue to expand its portfolio to the radiology segment. At ECR 2018, Samsung will present upgraded ultrasound systems including:
Samsung will also introduce digital radiography solutions that manage the dose for patients and meet the needs of healthcare providers, including:
At the Beyond Experience Zone, visitors can learn about Samsung’s efforts in supporting radiologists in their diagnoses through various software technologies such as SimGridTM, Bone Suppression and Dose Reduction. In addition to superb medical equipment, healthcare providers can visit the Low Dose Campaign Zone and experience how low the radiation dose of GC85A is compared to real life radiation through the Low Dose Quiz.
Samsung Electronics’ subsidiary NeuroLogica will showcase innovative mobile CT OmniTom®, which features an array of improvements from Samsung’s award-winning CereTom® CT scanner. OmniTom® is ideal for cranial procedures and is designed to deliver high-quality non-contrast CT, CT angiography and CT perfusion scans. The combination of its rapid scan time, ultra-small footprint and immediate image viewing makes OmniTom® an indispensable tool for collecting real-time data on critically ill patients. Samsung will also show its spectral CT with Photon Counting Detector (PCD), the next generation of CT technology.
Samsung is also presenting a prototype of Extremity MRI, which is expected to be a game changer in the industry. It is designed to improve not only cost and space efficiency but also patient convenience, as it reduces the need for the whole body to be in the MRI device to scan extremity areas such as arms and legs.
In addition to showcasing its portfolio of comprehensive healthcare solutions, Samsung will be hosting two satellite symposia throughout the week at ECR. Samsung’s symposia will highlight the key trends and issues across ultrasound imaging and digital radiography technologies.
