The NAEOTOM Alpha with Quantum Technology from Siemens Healthineers is the world’s first photon-counting computed tomography (CT) scanner and the result of more than 15 years of research and development. Quantum Technology provides four distinct benefits: improved image contrast, higher spatial resolution without the usual dose penalty, complete elimination of electronic noise, and intrinsic spectral sensitivity. The NAEOTOM Alpha combines that Quantum Technology with the company’s Dual Source technology, which provides fast temporal resolution, high scan speeds, and immense power reserves to potentially offer radiologists more insights in every exam, a new level of detail, and the ability to diagnose patients who were previously unscannable.

We live in the age of expediency. We love our 10-minute oil changes, drive-through restaurants and microwave ovens. We want what we want, and we want it now. That works for some things, but when it comes to making changes in either ourselves or our companies, changes take time.

Few things hit as hard as a loved one dying. What do you do? One of the first things people do is notify others that the person has died. Then, the funeral planning begins. After that, closing out final affairs is a priority. If the person had a trust or will, it might be easier to close out those affairs, but keep in mind that there is so much not addressed in those documents.
I often visit Ted.com where I find interesting and enlightening presentations by experts in their field. One such presentation was “On Being Wrong” by Kathryn Schulz. Ms. Schulz is a staff writer for The New Yorker and is the author of “Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error.”
The computed tomography (CT) market size is expected to be valued at $7.5 billion in 2022, according to a report…
For Kitt Shaffer, MD, Ph.D., FACR, art has always been a major part of her life. Growing up in a family that supported and enabled her creative endeavors, Shaffer was making jewelry in junior high, and netting awards for her realistic paintings and figure drawing by high school. But in medical school, when all her time was occupied by the work of completing her professional education, those creative efforts largely went by the wayside.
There are apps for banking and depositing checks. Most of us have e-billing for virtually every utility. Even health care portals give you easy access to medical records and appointment scheduling.
