To All Our Colleagues, Friends and Customers,
Medical professionals assume risk and liability as part of their day-to-day routine. Protecting their patients as well as themselves from infection is a large part of that responsibility. It is in this area especially that QSUM continues to excel. We are proud to announce our recent alliance with CIVCO Medical Solutions. (See the article in ITOnline.) Many of you may already be familiar with CIVCO and their many products that address your needs to reduce infection rates and the climbing costs associated with them. CIVCO is now listing interventional patient drapes from QSUM in their ultrasound line.
Whether we're providing our customers with products directly or through a partner like CIVCO, QSUM is committed to listening and learning about what our industry needs, and then finding ways to deliver solutions.
We know that our readers value continuous learning, and that's why we're happy to bring you QSUM Quips every month. This issue contains current news from our industry, curated especially for you.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Cynthia Henke & Hudson Jones

Breast US could be option for primary cancer screening. Although ultrasound is not intended to be performed instead of mammography when mammography is available, it can help find node-negative invasive cancers -- the very cancers clinicians most want to find by screening.
Yearly screening breast US benefits women with dense tissue. Although the optimal frequency of screening breast ultrasound for women with mammographically dense breast tissue remains under debate, study data presented at last week's RSNA 2012 meeting suggest that this population would benefit from yearly scans.
