Phase Contrast Improves Mammography
‎Phase contrast X-ray imaging has enabled researchers at ETH Zurich, the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the Kantonsspital Baden to perform mammographic imaging that allows greater precision in the assessment of breast cancer and its precursors. The technique could improve biopsy diagnostics and follow-up.

Health IT Strategies in the Era of Integrated Care (Publication)
‎The healthcare industry is currently experiencing change at an unprecedented rate. Change is not only occurring in the technology used in diagnostics and care delivery, but this change is so fundamental that it could, and likely will, fundamentally alter the business model of the industry. In recent years, healthcare expenditures have risen consistently and sharply in all Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, outpacing the rate of inflation.

Eighteen Critical Success Factors for Deploying Telemedicine
‎The Momentum project published a list of 18 factors that are critical to deploying telemedicine successfully into routine health care. Distilled from an analysis of telemedicine practices by experts from across Europe, these factors will help telemedicine "doers" to build sustainable implementations from the ground up or move experimental pilots into routine care. Telemedicine, which is care where the healthcare professional and the patient are not in the same room, holds promise for European healthcare systems.

Agfa HealthCare - First Quarter 2014
‎Impacted by adverse currency effects, Agfa HealthCare's revenue decreased by 11.6 percent. On a currency comparable basis, the decrease amounted to 7.8 percent. A major part of the film revenue decline of the Imaging segment is attributable to the weak performance in the emerging markets. In the segment's digital radiography business (consisting of Computed Radiography, Direct Radiography and the hardcopy business), the DR product range continued its strong growth.

Electronic Nose Sniffs Out Prostate Cancer Using Urine Samples
‎We may soon be able to make easy and early diagnoses of prostate cancer by smell. Investigators in Finland have established that a novel noninvasive technique can detect prostate cancer using an electronic nose. In a proof of principle study, the eNose successfully discriminated between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by "sniffing" urine headspace (the space directly above the urine sample). Results using the eNose are comparable to testing prostate specific antigen (PSA), reports the Journal of Urology®.

(Opinion Article) Mobile Technology: Switching on Community Healthcare
‎By Colin Reid, CEO, TotalMobile.
As care continues to shift further away from the hospital environment to a more local setting, it has never been more important to find innovative solutions to boost productivity for staff working in the community. Yet, as profound technology advances continue to revolutionise the way we conduct our lives, from online banking to Internet shopping, it seems that the NHS is failing to keep up.

‎Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda.
