November 2023: Designed to be more affordable for smaller and rural clinics, as well as outpatient diagnostic centers, the new dual-source CT scanner Somatom Pro.Pulse is being introduced by Siemens Healthineers. Siemens claims that the new scanner's better cooling system and more efficient power usage result in lower lifespan costs. The employment of two radiation tubes and detectors in a dual-source CT scanner reduces the effects of breathing and cardiac motion on the images while also allowing for excellent temporal resolution. Tin filters are used to keep radiation exposure minimal while keeping image quality intact. Nevertheless, the increased lifespan costs of dual-source CT have hindered its widespread implementation. According to Siemens, Somatom Pro.Pulse streamlines tests and allows for patient-specific scanning when integrated with the intelligent workflow of the myExam Companion.

March 2023: Argon Medical Devices, a frontrunner in the device solutions market for Interventional Radiology, Vascular Surgery, Interventional Cardiology, and Oncology, expanded its line of portal vein access products, introduced the TRAVELERTM Portal Vein Access Series. This product line was developed to address the complex requirements of doctors doing Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS) surgeries, which include entering the portal vein via the liver. Argon's significant 2021 introduction of SCORPION®, which enables TIPS treatments as well, is supplemented by TRAVELER. TRAVELER aims to address two main issues with the TIPS procedure—the difficulty in seeing components and their endurance. The TRAVELER set is superior to other sets on the market when it comes to accessing the portal vein because of its revolutionary features.
