DAYTON, Ohio, Jan 11, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Riverain Technologies announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Temporal Comparison software. This software electronically compares current and prior chest X-ray images and can help identify nodules that may be early-stage lung cancer, when there are more treatment options.
The first-of-its-kind technology zeros in on differences between current and prior chest X-rays of the same patient, drawing attention to what may be an emerging or enlarging tumor. The software aligns and registers the two patient images to produce a difference image, which allows radiologists to pinpoint even subtle changes that show up more clearly than on a traditional X-ray. Temporal Comparison also has received approval for marketing in the European Union.
In a study of 422 pairs of chest X-rays, 15 radiologists were able to demonstrate an average 12.4 percent improvement in sensitivity for actionable solitary pulmonary nodules using Riverain's Temporal Comparison software as compared to results based on comparing the X-rays side by side, today's standard.

Image Gently Helps Physicians Lower Radiation Dose in Fluoroscopic Procedures on Children
Washington — The Image Gently campaign has developed easily accessible online teaching materials and checklists to help providers use the lowest dose necessary to perform fluoroscopic procedures on children. Physicians, medical physicists, and radiologic technologists are encouraged to visit the Image Gently Web site (www.imagegently.org) to review these important materials and factor the information into their clinical decision making.
The Image Gently campaign is conducted by the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging, founded by the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR), the American College of Radiology (ACR), the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT), and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), and now encompasses more than 50 medical organizations serving more than 500,000 health care providers world-wide.
There is no doubt that fluoroscopic procedures help improve and save lives. However, children are more sensitive to radiation than adults, and cumulative radiation exposure to their smaller, developing bodies could, over time, have adverse effects.

IMV Reports General X-ray Procedures Growing at 5.5% per Year, as Number of Installed X-ray Units Declines
According to a recent study published by IMV Medical Information Division, in 2010 an estimated 182.9 million procedures were performed in U.S. hospital radiology departments using fixed general x-ray equipment. Compared with an estimated 140.1 million procedures conducted in 2005, this represents an average annual growth rate of 5.5% per year.
These 182.9 million procedures were performed on an estimated 15,900 fixed x-ray radiography units, including both conventional x-ray and digital radiography (DR) units. This represents a slight decline in the total fixed x-ray installed base of approximately 1% per year since 2005, when an estimated 16,510 units were installed in the nation's hospital radiology departments.
"DR and computed radiography (CR) technology has allowed facilities to reduce their total installed base, while increasing their productivity," observed Lorna Young, Senior Director, Market Research. "Presently, over one-quarter of the installed x-ray units have DR technology (which allows digital x-ray images to be acquired directly into a computer without requiring the use of a removable cassette). CR technology (in which the x-ray image is acquired on a phosphor plate that is installed in a cassette, which is then taken to a CR reader that digitally captures the x-ray image) is used by 70% of the units. The remaining 4% of the fixed x-ray units are traditional film-only units, which has decreased from about one-third of the total installed base back in 2005."

Scale of UK exposure to X-rays revealed
Radiation scientists at the Agency have estimated that about 46 million medical and dental X-ray examinations were carried out across the UK in 2008, an increase of 10 per cent since 1997. About two-thirds, 67 per cent, of the procedures were carried out in NHS hospitals while 26 per cent were performed by dentists.
The new HPA study reveals that the average annual radiation dose to each member of the public from all diagnostic X-rays has increased from 0.33 millisieverts (mSv) in 1997, the last time a detailed frequency survey was completed, to 0.4 mSv. Most of the increase is due to the growth in the number of higher dose CT examinations. Medical X-rays remain the largest single artificial source of radiation exposure for the UK population. The average radiation dose from all sources of ionising radiation remains about 2.7mSv per person year and medical x-rays contribute 15 per cent of this total.
Dr John Cooper, Director of the HPA's Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, said: "Despite the increased use of diagnostic X-rays in medicine in the UK, the average dose to the population is still considerably lower than in comparable countries. This is because in the UK we carry out fewer X-ray examinations per head of population and because radiology departments are well managed by healthcare professionals.
