Every year after Thanksgiving, tens of thousands of doctors, hospital managers, equipment manufacturers and other medical industry professionals descend on Chicago for what might be the largest healthcare gathering in the world — the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Like many tasks in medicine, threading a breathing tube down a patient’s trachea requires skills, patience and steady hands. Insert the tube not far enough and the patient can throw up food into their lungs, causing infection; insert it too far and you might trigger a collapsed lung or cardiac arrest. Doctors often order a chest X-ray to make sure the tube is positioned right.
Wilhelm Röntgen had no inkling that he was about to revolutionize how doctors diagnose and treat injuries and disease.
In 2003, Dan Collins was working as a media analyst for an Australian brokerage when his father was diagnosed with a rare terminal illness. Collins had no background in healthcare, but seeing his father’s odyssey through the medical system, he realized that there had to be a way to treat people.
In March, Helen Parry was delighted when a brand-new Senographe Pristina™ 3D mammography system arrived at Royal Perth Hospital in Perth, Western Australia.
