Last week, following a speaking engagement in Indianapolis, I had the opportunity to have a spur of the moment lunch with what I would consider an industry legend. 

In case you missed Part I of this specific blog series, here is the long and the short of what was laid out previously…

Having just returned from sunny St. Petersburg, FL for the annual ELFA Equipment Management Conference, I thought an update might prove interesting to those out there in hospital and imaging center land.  This annual conference, which brings together bankers and lessors from around the country and a few from Europe to mingle and learn about the latest vagaries of their industry, is always highlighted by Carl Chrappa’s “What’s Hot and What’s Not” survey presentation that is a potpourri of economic forecasting, industry analysis and industry category comparison.  

Hologic recently received FDA approval for their breast tomosynthesis system, Selenia Dimensions, and boasts that “it is like no other breast-imaging platform on the market.” Based on everything I’ve learned so far, I have to agree that this cutting edge technology is slated to revolutionize the mammography market and breast cancer detection as we know it.
