RZ Ad_Embracing_RADbook_88x258mm_10-02-14_RZ Ad_Embracing_RADboo ECR is not only the place for medical imaging specialists to ben- efit from an unmatched scientific and educational programme; many companies appreciate the congress as an excellent venue to showcase their newest developments. For the eighth year in a row, the RadBook team is proud to present a compact overview of the commercially available radiological systems in Europe – including all innovations. Computed tomography (CT) continues to be the industry’s driving force, closely followed by interventional systems while at least in the public mind magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) seems to be the wall flower among the three beauties. But don’t be fooled: MRI innovations happen in silence, very literally as all manufac- turers are putting enormous efforts in reducing the noise of the sequences. Digital radiography is a mature technology; with digital detectors being a dime a dozen these days, it is the software behind the detectors that defines image quality – the crucial feature of any imaging system. Modern medical systems and software are already closely linked and well on their way to become inseparably intertwined. Ultrasound developers pack more and more technology in ever smaller devices: equipment that used to weigh in at 200 kg a few years ago, today fits into the physician’s pocket. RadBook helps you to navigate the imaging system maze, to quick- ly identify solutions that meet your needs and to spot alternatives that were hidden from view before.
