RSNA 2020 recently concluded with several announcements and product launches for the entire market. but don't panic, Thales makes you relive it! With the COVID-19 pandemic, Thales has been able to adapt by digitizing its communication. Several activities have been set up to highlight our latest innovations.

Thales is proud to offer its patronage to the Innotrophées 2020

02 Nov 2020

Thales is proud to announce that it will be the main patron in the 11th edition of the Innotrophées 2020, organized by the CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry) of Grenoble and its Ecobiz network. This award ceremony, which takes place on Télé Grenoble on Saturday 28th November at 9 PM, will give recognition to the region’s best innovations in categories such as technological innovation. Thales is a world leader in providing radiology system innovations, and is a strong believer in revolutionising medical technology to better suit the evolving needs of our world. Within the current context of COVID-19, healthcare innovations are now valued more than ever, and the demand for medical imaging solutions has significantly increased. It is for these reasons that we seek to benefit from our strong presence in France for the better good. Our participation in the Innotrophées 2020 strongly reinforces our strategy to collaborate with local startups. With the largest European site dedicated to radiology, this provides us with an excellent playing field for succeeding in future joint projects. Together, we can make a bigger difference by providing solutions that combine both of our expertise. Thales has 60 years of experience in the region producing cutting-edge products and digital services that are made in France itself. As the only European manufacturer for radiology technology, Thales and its subsidiary Trixell are experts in their field for designing and manufacturing detectors. Innovation is still evolving at Moirans site and we are now developing nanotechnology-based X-ray sources, image processing, and preparing the future based on cloud connectivity, big data, cyber security or artificial intelligence for new value-added services for patients and healthcare. See what Laurent Chevallier, our Head of Partnerships, who will represent us in the awards, has to say about Thales’ participation:

An AI to alleviate the COVID-19 crisis? Thales & NEHS DIGITAL collaborate to form radiology solution targeted at hospitals

15 Oct 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly had an important impact on healthcare services worldwide, to the extent that hospital departments have become overcrowded. So, how can we help regarding this? Thanks to the support from the Defense Innovation Agency, Thales & NEHS DIGITAL have joined forces to create an AI*-based solution that will allow healthcare professionals to have a first pre-diagnosis thanks to an analysis of lung images from the scanner. This project will benefit from Thales' long term expertise in radiology and digital technologies such as AI, and the solid establishment of NEHS DIGITAL** who is at the heart of French hospitals with dedicated solutions for telemedicine. The solution, developed as part of a call for projects supported by the French Ministry of Armies, is set to deploy in autumn 2020, and aims to improve patient care by enabling medical teams to perform better patient management and prioritise cases according to actual medical urgency. Using the FIDAC*** database from various hospitals, Thales will implement an infrastructure to train these algorithms through automatic learning, and will subsequently develop an AI that will initiate, in record time, automated diagnosis recommendations based on CT-scan images. Installed in hospitals thanks to NEHS’ solutions large coverage in France, this will help radiologists in hospitals, who are challenged with the responsibility of interpreting multiple images for each patient in a limited time to assess lung damage. This large-scale project truly does set a precedent for managing future pathologies, as it is one of the first steps in supporting the practice of radiologists with AI in the context of COVID-19. It could be replicated for other pathologies in the near future! * Artificial intelligence ** NEHS DIGITAL: subsidiary of the NEHS group *** FIDAC project: database of chest CT-Scans from patients diagnosed with COVID-19, led by the SFR (French Society of Radiology) and supported by NEHS DIGITAL

Radiology: at the heart of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic

07 May 2020

For the past several months, hospitals and medical staff have had to mobilise in the fight against the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, which has affected millions of people and continues to claim many victims worldwide. In the ongoing battle being fought by hospital services, radiology systems are essential, because Covid-19 can affect not only the lungs, but also other vital organs. With half of all x-ray examinations worldwide being carried out using Thales solutions, Thales’s radiology teams are working daily to meet the need for critical equipment.

Creating a quantum leap in X-ray imagery

29 Jul 2019

Digital technologies including AI are creating a revolution in X-Ray imagery with higher quality images at safer doses and compacted systems.

Do patients and hospitals need to trade off a new world of medical care for data insecurity?

23 May 2018

Healthcare is generating more and more confidential personal data, all of it increasingly targeted by hackers. Hospitals are therefore becoming more reliant on Thales' core activities and expertise in IOT, Cybersecurity and IA, to keep our radiology data safe.
