RSNA is an international society of radiologists, medical physicists and other medical professionals with more than 54,000 members from 136 countries across the globe. The Annual Meeting is the world’s premier radiology forum, drawing approximately 55,000 attendees each year. Here are some of the notable new product announcements made at the show this year.

Vieworks to Highlight Digital X-ray Imaging Detectors at RSNA 2017

Vieworks exhibited its latest flat panel detector, VIVIX-S 1417N, with new features for addressing a busy workflow in medical facilities at RSNA 2017. In February, Vieworks received FDA clearance for its VIVIX-S 1417N, a 14-inch-by-17-inch flat panel detector for general radiography. Joseph Choi, strategic marketing team leader for Vieworks, says that AnytimeTM, Vieworks’ automatic exposure detection (AED) feature, which takes away the need for a cabled connection between the X-ray system and generator, helps set the detector apart from the company’s competitors.

“AnytimeTM is well recognized for superior AED performance in the industry for its high reliability and high sensitivity without compromising image quality compared to a DR line trigger,” Choi says.

AnytimeTM uses a separate AED trigger sensor, and the VIVIX-S 1417N does not create artificial defects as the whole of the flat panel detects X-ray signal to create images, Choi says. Anytime is also highly sensitive to the X-ray dose, sensing doses as low as 10 nanogray, still providing high-quality images.
