Announcing new solutions
In November 2017, Konica Minolta introduced medical solutions for digital radiology (DR) and ultrasound examinations - a digital X-ray machine AeroDRTM and the SonimageTM HS1 Ultrasound system. The pixel size of AeroDR HD is 100 microns (μm) - at this time it is the highest resolution for devices of this class (mobile flat X-ray machines the size of a cassette). The device allows you to better consider the trabecular (spongy) substance of the bone and zoom in so as to see the microstructure of the bones.
SPFS (Surface Plasmon Field-enhanced Fluorescence Spectroscopy) is an immune assay system for the diagnosis of certain cardiac pathologies at a very early stage, as well as prostate cancer. The fluorescent antibody method is used to identify disease-specific biomarkers (proteins). Fluorescent materials chemically bind to certain proteins, and then, by their luminescence, their presence and behavior can be determined, for example, to detect signs of acute myocardial infarction at an earlier stage.
WoundAide is a mobile and cost-effective wound health assessment solution that performs accurate 3D measurement and 3D wound health documentation in seconds through automated image analysis. While the process of manually measuring and recording data can take a long time, it can be inaccurate, painful and carry a risk of infection.
Konica Minolta has also demonstrated MOBOTIX intelligent video solutions for, health care including a thermal scanner designed to monitor the condition of patients. The scanner detects the high temperature of the body and signals it. An intelligent solution based on video technologies uses typical scenarios of people's behavior: for example, if the patient is ill, or he fell out of bed, the system immediately raises the alarm through local audio or IP devices. The MOBOTIX line includes both intelligent access control systems and traditional surveillance cameras, including innovative hemispherical models. For example, one such hemispherical chamber installed in the center of the ceiling of the hospital room can cover the entire room.
Konica Minolta also offers optimization and optimization solutions IT Infrastructure business processes that automate workflow, protect medical data while keeping it easy to access, and reduce administrative burden. The results of X-ray studies can be printed in the form of special format booklets (DICOM standard in the field of obtaining and processing digital images and means of transmitting information in) to medicine as simple as ordinary administrative documents.
Announcement of dynamic chest radiography system
In June 2017, Konica Minolta Healthcare announced a dynamic chest radiography system. The equipment will be presented at the World Congress of Thoracic Imaging, which will be held in Boston (Massachusetts, USA) from June 18 to 21, 2017.
The new system, whose name the manufacturer does not disclose, uses a flat panel X-ray detector and analytical software developed by Konica Minolta Healthcare. This combination of branded developments will allow doctors to simultaneously evaluate anatomical and physiological data about patients, as a result of which a regular chest X-ray can give a complete idea of the state of internal organs and not expose a person to numerous studies.
Dynamic chest radiography can be used to assess lung performance in patients with asthma, pulmonary embolism and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the manufacturer said.
The novelty allows you to reduce the radiation exposure of the patient compared to modern diagnostic systems that are used for perfusion scanning and evaluation of lung ventilation. First of all, we are talking about solutions using nuclear medicine and computer tomographs.
According to the American Lung Association, by June 2017, more than 33 million US residents have various chronic lung diseases.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) calls chronic respiratory diseases the third most common cause of death, and also predicts that by 2020, medical costs for the treatment of chronic non-obstructive pulmonary diseases in adults will exceed $90 billion.[1]
