Kodak: committed to a digital future
Dan Kerpelman: Kodak's Health Imaging Group is one of Kodak's three business groups, which include photography, commercial imaging and a components business.
Imaging
Learning by looking
The diagnosis of kidney and urinary tract problems can be particularly difficult when young patients are involved.
Operating theatres: the future
Innovative Technologies are the driving force behind the development of medical procedures aimed at minimum invasiveness with the highest precision and best clinical results.

CT and MRI-compatible compression harness
The DynaWell L-Spine, a compression harness that axially loads the lumbar spine in the supine position, has no magnetic parts, so can be used with most CT and MRI scanners.
Article • Research, diagnostics, treatments
Focus on breast cancer
Breast cancer (breast carcinoma; often abbreviated as BRCA) is the most common cancer in women in many countries and the cancer with the highest mortality rate. The diagnostic and therapeutic options for breast cancer are correspondingly diverse. Keep reading for latest developments in early detection, staging, treatment and research.
Article • Diagnostic imaging
Contrast agents: useful, but controversial
Many procedures in diagnostic imaging would be impossible without contrast agents: they open up insights into vascular structures, show stenoses, inflammations, aneurysms and more. However, reports about side effects – especially with gadolinium-based contrast media – cause uncertainty among many patients.

PACS: the central node of imaging
Radiology without a picture archiving and communication system has become unthinkable: It records and sorts image data, controls access to the files – and gains traction also in other specialties.
Article • Research, diagnostics, therapy
Focus on prostate cancer
Prostate cancer (PCa) is not only one of the most common, but also one of the deadliest types of cancer in men. Diagnostics are correspondingly sophisticated, from imaging via ultrasound or MRI to various biopsy techniques – often even in combination. Keep reading for current developments in early detection, staging, therapy and research.

Focus on Cardiology
Arrhythmias, valve defects, heart attacks: Cardiologists face a wide range of disorders and diseases. Equally diverse are diagnostics and therapeutic options. Find out what the field has to offer.

Ultrasound/Sonography
Ultrasound imaging is primarily known from prenatal care, but sonography is also used in many other places: it is just as indispensable for examining the thyroid and abdomen as it is in cardiology. Read all about application examples, new technology and more.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Imaging without ionising radiation: MRI uses magnetic fields to look inside the body. Keep up-to-date with the latest research news, medical applications, and background information on MR imaging.

Computed tomography (CT)
Since its introduction in the 1970s, computed tomography has been a mainstay of radiology. Its overlay-free representation of body structures and the rapid image availability make CT indispensable in the diagnostic assessment of numerous diseases, especially in emergency medicine. Modern CT systems not only offer innovative procedures for better image quality, but also reduce radiation exposure.

Breast imaging
From Mammography to Tomosynthesis - breast imaging is crucial in cancer screening and diagnosis. Keep up-to-date with research news, medical applications, and background information on breast imaging.
