The Pulse on Health, Science & Technology

Two weeks ago in Chicago, we had fantastic time celebrating 100 years of RSNA, one of the most anticipated annual medical events. Not only did we show you the latest in medical innovation today, but we gave a behind-the-scenes peek into the next 100 years with #SeeFWD. Live from RSNA, we took you through the event with our all-star panelists, three physician experts from renowned facilities across the United States, who brought radiology to life and went beyond the science to explore what might be next. GE Healthcare would like to extend a whole hearted “thank you” to our outstanding #SeeFWD experts:
• Dr. Shreyas Vasanawala of Stanford in California
• Dr. Satchi Hiremath of Aurora Health Care in Wisconsin
• Dr. Joseph Russo of St. Luke’s Regional Breast Center in Pennsylvania

Attempting to #seeFWD in the dark or just looking for a trendy fashion accessory? Try putting on a pair of red adapting glasses.

Shown above, these glasses  were invented by Wilhelm Trendelenburg in 1916 for early radiologists. Radiologists used these goggles to adapt their eyes to view the intense light produced by fluorescent screens during early fluoroscopic procedures, which involved the use of X-ray images. 

RSNA attendees can check them out in the Centennial Showcase room onsite.

Radiologist: the modern day printer.

Our #seeFWD expert, Dr. Russo of St. Luke’s, russo310, explains why the field of radiology is comparable to print making, a business his family has run for many years. Proofreading negatives and press plates for printing imperfections is comparable to identifying abnormalities on patient images in screening mammography.
