The technology of interventional X-ray systems has evolved. There was a time when not every system used pulsed fluoro. That technology is now standard – as it should be. The same with flat panels. It’s inconceivable to think of a cutting-edge system without flat panel...
A career in interventional medicine is one that comes with the risks inherent to radiation exposure. But should physicians simply accept that fate? Or is there an available solution to help minimize that risk? Omega Medical Imaging has developed next-level technology...
Reducing the risk of radiation exposure without compromising image quality or procedural workflow should be the goal of every interventionalist using X-ray imaging systems. It should also be the goal of every manufacturer of X-ray systems. ROI technology is known. The...
**Spoiler Alert** – There is available technology that dramatically reduces radiation exposure without compromising image quality or changing existing workflow. Radiation exposure during interventional procedures in catheterization laboratories (“cath labs”) is a...
The Triple Aim was developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) as an approach to optimize health system performance. The goal of the Triple Aim was to “improve the patient care experience, improve the health of a population, and reduce per capita...
Scatter radiation represents a significant risk to interventional endoscopists and their staff. The IAEA reports that the major source of exposure to medical staff is radiation scattering as it contacts the patient. With that risk comes the question – is there...
How important is radiation protection for you? For your staff? For your patient? Every facility and hospital talks about radiation safety. It’s clearly important. Every manufacturer says they have the best technology and that they provide “the highest standards of...
Omega Medical Imaging is an innovator in the design, manufacture, delivery, and support of the first and only AI image-guided ROI interventional systems for hospitals and facilities around the world. But what does that mean to you, to your hospital or program? AI...
Since their introduction in the 1950s, C-arms have allowed physicians to monitor medical procedures in real time and achieve better results for their patients. At the time, image intensifiers were the leading technology. About 50 years later, flat panel detectors...
When a doctor or hospital decides they are ready to build or grow an interventional program, they must decide how they are going to equip their labs. At the center of these labs is the medical imaging system – the X-ray system – that serves as the eyes of the...
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a game-changing technology that delivers much in the way of improved productivity and process control. In medical applications, AI is frequently associated with image analysis. In fact, AI shows great promise for endoscopic image...
In an internal comparative study, Omega Medical Imaging proved significant radiation reduction in cardiology is achieved when using an AI image-guided ROI system compared to a non-AI system. Radiation dose is reduced in both fluoro and cine modes of acquisition across...
