Facebook Messenger official download available — you can grab it here

Facebook Messenger client for Windows slips out for download (Update: Official download available)

By Donald Melanson  posted Dec 29th 2011 5:56PM

We’ve already had an early peek at Facebook’s yet-to-be-released Messenger client for Windows, and now you can give it a shot yourself courtesy of a leaked copy that’s turned up on the TechIT website. Not much in the way of surprises here, but if you’re the sort that prefers desktop applications to websites or mobile apps, you’ll be glad to know that it provides access to not just Facebook chat, but status updates and notifications from your friends as well. You can find the download at the source link below (Windows 7 is required).

Update: Facebook has now made an official download available — you can grab it here, and find additional details on the application here.

Canon DR wireless detectors

Here is a look at the new Canon DR wireless detectors. These will make xray a little easier.

New Canon Digital Radiography Detectors Cleared for Use in U.S.

by BRIAN KLEIN on Nov 28, 2011 • No Comments

Canon has announced that its CXDI-80C and CXDI-501 wireless digital radiography detectors have received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. The CXDI-80C wireless digital radiography (DR) detector, which we have discussed before onMedgadget, is the first compact wireless DR detector offered by Canon. Weighing roughly 5.1 lbs., the system builds on the functionality of the company’s CXDI-70C wireless DR detector but is smaller and lighter. The CXDI-80C features an imaging area of approximately 11 x 14-inches in size and can be used with standard-size Bucky trays. Incorporating a 6.1-megapixel image sensor with a pixel pitch of 125 microns and a cesium iodide scintillator, the system is designed to offer high-quality images while limiting X-ray exposure to the patient. When operating on a fully charged battery, the device can produce up to approximately 140 images. Read More

Magnetic Catheter Guidance System from Magnetec Gets EU Clearance

by GENE OSTROVSKY on Dec 19, 2011 • 1:20 pm

 

Magnetecs, an Inglewood, California firm, received the European CE Marking for its Robotic Catheter Guidance Control and Imaging (CGCI) System.  The technology involves eight remotely controlled electromagnets that guide the movement of a magnetically-tipped EP catheter, providing precise movement with great dexterity. The display intelligently provides validation of anatomy, EP, and precise visualization of the intended work area as well as real-time display of tool location. Automated mapping of the cardiac chamber of interest removes the repetitive task of manual mapping, thereby shortening the duration of the procedure and increasing the accuracy of the generated map. Since all the imaging, tool location and control operates in the digital realm, the entire procedure is stored and available for review and playback.

According to Josh Shachar, CEO of Magnetecs, the European regulatory decision will allow the company to apply its technology “for electrophysiology and interventional cardiology as well as additional fields of use.”

More about the system from the product page:

The CGCI system has two standard modes of control: Manual Magnetic mode and Automatic Magnetic control mode. The joystick-controlled Manual Magnetic mode provides a responsive way to direct the catheter tip about the chamber. The Automatic Magnetic mode gives the operator point-and-click targeting of map locations. In Automatic Magnetic mode, the CGCI logic routines plan a path to the targeted location, determine the optimal contact direction, and guide the catheter tip until it makes firm and continuous tissue contact. The CGCI system uses the static map geometry to plan a guidance path that will bring the catheter tip into contact with the moving tissue as it passes through the selected map location. The CGCI then uses tissue-contact sensing filters to continue advancing the tip until continuous contact is reached over the entire cardiac cycle. If the catheter slips from the location, the tissue-contact sensing system immediately alerts the operator and the magnetic field regulator, and the tip is quickly guided back into contact at the desired tissue location. If an obstacle is detected, the location is automatically marked, and a new path is planned to tissue contact.
