STAFF REPORT

The ICE webinar series continues to deliver valuable continuing education and knowledge to imaging professionals.

CONTRAST INJECTOR INSIGHTS

The ICE webinar “Introduction to the Acist CTA and CVi Contrast Injectors” was sponsored by Althea US. It was approved for 1.0 ARRT Category A CE credit by the AHRA (AHRA Reference: LEC11705; Expiration Date: 6/23/2023).

Michael Gossman of Althea US provided information and knowledge for the set-up and basic operation on the Acist CTA and CVi contrast injectors.

The Acist CTA Injector information included component identification, injector set-up, remote operation, entering protocols, injector head operation, EDA module and unique features.

The Acist CVi Injector information included component identification, injector set-up, entering protocols, injector head operation, test jigs, description of all sensors required and unique features.

Attendees provided feedback via a survey that included the question, “Why do you join ICE Webinars?”

“To add to my understanding and knowledge of medical imaging,” said Jeffery Kennelly, a medical imaging services and imaging informatics expert.

“Opportunity to learn about equipment service and/or learning about equipment I’m not familiar with,” said Steven Sirois, BMET III.

OA/US CAN IMPACT PATIENTS

The webinar “OA/US: How this New Hybrid Modality Can Impact Your Patients” was approved for 1.0 ARRT Category A CE credit by the AHRA (AHRA Reference: LEC11689; Expiration Date: 6/8/2023). It was sponsored by Seno Medical. Seno Medical is a medical imaging company formed to commercialize a new modality in cancer diagnosis called opto-acoustic imaging. Almost 100 individuals registered for this webinar.

Dr. A. Thomas Stavros, chief medical officer at Seno Medical, provided a 60-minute presentation. Attendees were able to learn how this new PMA approved hybrid modality uses opto-acoustics (lasers) fused with ultrasound (OA/US) to provide patients a better experience compared to ultrasound alone.

Attendees provided feedback via a survey that also asked, “What was your favorite part of the webinar?”

“The presentation of images to back up the discussion of the scientific principles of optoacoustic ultrasound. The use of AI was very helpful to aid in interpretation,” said William Lytle Jr., a radiologist.

“Excellent presentation by Dr. Tom Stavros. Glad to see new technology and understanding being applied to breast ultrasound, which will help improve patient care,” said Richard Ellis, radiologist.

The webinar included a question-and-answer session. The complete presentation, including the question-and-answer session, is available for on-demand viewing at ICEwebinars.live. •
