This blurred X-ray illustrates how movement can affect X-ray images and require that further images be taken. A new imaging approach that incorporates Xbox gaming technology alerts X-ray technicians to factors that could compromise image quality, thus cutting down on the number of X-rays needed and, consequently, patient exposure to radiation. With the aim of producing high-quality X-rays with minimal radiation exposure, particularly in children, researchers have developed a new approach to imaging patients. Surprisingly, the new technology isn't a high-tech, high-dollar piece of machinery. Rather, it's based on the Xbox gaming system. Using proprietary software developed for the Microsoft Kinect system, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have adapted hands-free technology used for the po[CENSORED]r Xbox system to aid radiographers when taking X-rays. The software coupled with the Kinect system can measure thickness of body parts and check for motion, positioning and the X-ray field of view immediately before imaging, said Steven Don, MD, associate professor of radiology at the university's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. Real-time monitoring alerts technologists to factors that could compromise image quality. For example, "movement during an X-ray requires retakes, thereby increasing radiation exposure," Don said. A feasibility study will be presented Dec. 2, at the Radiological Society of North America's annual meeting in Chicago. "The goal is to produce high-quality X-ray images at a low radiation dose without repeating images," Don said. "It sounds surprising to say that the Xbox gaming system could help us to improve medical imaging, but our study suggests that this is possible." The technology could benefit all patients but particularly children because of their sensitivity to radiation and greater variation in body sizes, which can range from premature infants to adult-sized teenagers. Setting appropriate X-ray techniques to minimize radiation exposure depends on the thickness of the body part being imaged. High-quality X-rays are critical in determining diagnoses and treatment plans. Traditionally steel calipers have been used to measure body-part thickness for X-rays. However, calipers are a "time-consuming, intrusive and often scary to kids, especially those who are sick or injured," said Don, a pediatric radiologist who treats patients at St. Louis Children's Hospital. "To achieve the best image quality while minimizing radiation exposure, X-ray technique needs to be based on body-part thickness," Don said. The gaming software has an infrared sensor to measure body-part thickness automatically without patient contact. "Additionally, we use the optical camera to confirm the patient is properly positioned," he explained. Originally developed as a motion sensor and voice and facial recognition device for the Xbox gaming system, Microsoft Kinect software allows individuals to play games hands-free, or without a standard controller. Scientists, computer specialists and other inventors have since adapted the Xbox technology for nongaming applications. Don and his colleagues, for example, combined the Microsoft Kinect 1.0 technology with proprietary software to improve X-ray imaging. With help from Washington University's Office of Technology Management, the team applied for a patent last year. Don developed the technology with William Clayton, a former computer programmer at the School of Medicine, and Robert MacDougall, a clinical medical physicist at Boston Children's Hospital. This year, Don and his colleagues have received funding from Washington University and The Society for Pediatric Radiology. They will use these resources to continue research with the updated Microsoft Kinect 2.0 and seek feedback from radiological technologists to improve the software. While further research and development are needed, the eventual goal is to apply the technology to new X-ray machines as well as retrofitting older equipment. "Patients, technologists and radiologists want the best quality X-rays at the lowest dose possible without repeating images," Don said. "This technology is a tool to help achieve that goal."

Just when the U.S. federal budget situation seemed about to settle down -- it didn't. With tens of billions of dollars at stake, federal acquisition managers and the IT vendors who support government agencies were breathing a sigh of relief when Congress and the White House agreed to a two-year government spending program last month. The agreement was a positive development in the frequently rocky federal financing and procurement process. "Bringing some measure of fiscal certainty to the federal marketplace is good news for federal technology and IT projects," said Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president, public sector, at the Information Technology Alliance for Public Sector. "We're hopeful this agreement will remove an obstacle to Congress and the president passing and enacting a fiscal 2016 National Defense Authorization Act with the acquisition reforms we have advocated," he said, referring to linkage between the budget agreement and the NDAA in which the defense measure needed to be in conformity with budget requirements. Such an alignment "would allow federal agencies to better plan a path forward for their IT innovations and modernizations over the next two years that wasn't an option under a continuing resolution," Hodgkins added. The NDAA includes federal IT management measures the vendor community supports. Then the wheels started to come loose -- although they haven't fallen off just yet. President Obama vetoed a proposed NDAA largely because it didn't conform with the proposed budget agreement. The House and Senate quickly approved a revised NDAA that resolved the linkage issue, and the president signed it last month. Political Factors Affect Process A funding appropriations bill necessary to implement the budget agreement needs to be enacted by Dec. 11, when a stopgap continuing resolution, or CR, expires. Congress is proceeding with a catch-all omnibus appropriations bill essentially covering the entire government. Should that falter, the likely fallback would be another continuing resolution -- and another period of unsettled budgeting. Such are the politics and perils of federal finances. "We are operating under the assumption that the omnibus appropriations bill will prevail instead of another CR," said Lloyd McCoy, consultant for market intelligence at immixGroup. "Our sense is that it will be the preferred path here," he told the E-Commerce Times. At the immixGroup Government Sales Summit Conference last month, company presenters based their outlook on the 2016 appropriations request. "The omnibus approach is much better in that it provides more resources for IT innovations and modernization, versus a CR which just holds levels steady with the prior year," McCoy said. "The omnibus appropriation process is a huge advantage for both government agencies and vendors to have a stable federal budget environment and much better than the boom-and-bust pattern of a series of short-term budget fixes," said Robert Haas, federal IT budget outlook team chair for the Professional Services Council. PSC held its 2016 Vision conference on the federal IT budget in mid-November. Riders Pose Challenges to Funding Omnibus bills invariably invite numerous single-interest riders that have the potential of drawing veto threats or otherwise scuttling the legislation. One possible complication could be a rider designed to halt funding associated with accommodating Syrian refugees, although newly elected House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is trying to isolate the Syrian refugee issue as a separate matter. He will allow other riders to be proposed and voted on, he has said -- leading to the potential that some controversial issue could frustrate enactment of the omnibus proposal. Still, the budget agreement is a positive development, according to John Slye, an advisory research analyst at Deltek who follows IT and technology issues. First, the budget program is now law and sets a top-line funding level for agencies "and removes sequestration from the table for the next two years," he told the E-Commerce Times. "The greater impact of the latest two-year deal for agencies and contractors alike is a greater degree of certainty, especially with respect to the specter of impending sequestration impacts. Agencies are finalizing their fiscal 2017 budget submissions, and having a better sense of their top lines allows them to plan more effectively," Slye said. "It also allows agencies to move procurement plans forward rather than dealing with delays and ripple effects that uncertainty entails. This will have positive downstream impacts for the contractors competing for the work as they are looking for signs that help them anticipate staffing and product inventory needs to meet the demand," he said. Emerging Acquisition Trends The PSC analysis, in constant dollars, shows federal IT spending at $80 billion in 2016, of which $49 billion is allocated to civilian agencies and nearly $31 billion for defense. Those levels will remain virtually flat through 2021. While a more reliable funding environment will be a significant change in the federal IT acquisition environment, other changes also will be important for vendors to observe. For example, in research related to its 2016 outlook, PSC found that category management has become a significant element in federal IT procurement, Haas told the E-Commerce Times. Under the CM approach, IT procurement will be simplified to standard category configurations of products. The Office of Management and Budget recently issued a directive limiting procurement of desktops to just three standard configurations and just two for laptops. In the past, agencies have ordered multiple PC configurations at widely differing prices for similar equipment, OMB said. Much of the past procurement was achieved through 2,400 separate contract s versus consolidated money-saving bulk purchase vehicles. "We think you'll see more of a CM approach for other IT equipment and acquisitions," PCS' Haas said. Agencies are gradually but definitively moving to more agile approaches to IT procurement with shorter-term incremental acquisitions versus expensive multiyear "one-shot" arrangements, he said. Another emerging and significant change in federal IT procurement is a shift in procurement authority from program operations personnel and mission specialists to more centralized control from upper-level staff CIOs in conformity with provisions of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act, enacted last year. "What we are seeing is more power rolling under component CIOs and away from mission owners," Chris Wiedemann, a senior analyst at immixGroup, told vendors attending the company's conference last month. "That means in a lot of cases your customer base is going to change. People who today are decision-makers will, over time, become influence makers," he said. Also, feedback from federal agencies contacted for the PSC outlook indicated an increasingly positive attitude for engaging vendors and the private sector in assisting agencies in solving problems and not just supplying IT equipment or services. "I think the agencies are seeing a symbiotic factor between government and the vendor community and we see this trend continuing," Haas reported. As for funding, members of Congress and the Obama administration will be scurrying to wrap up the appropriations process by Dec. 11.

Google's corporate motto is, "Don't be evil," but judging by the media and tech companies' investments and product developments lately, you might be hard pressed to believe that its corporate bosses take that seriously. You may have heard that one of Google's most recent projects is developing driverless cars that are wired to the "Internet of Things," so to speak. While that in and of itself doesn't seem so "evil," consider a warning by Audi's chief executive, who is warning that Google's self-driving cars will essentially spy on occupants. Increasingly, motor vehicles are becoming more wired, far beyond simple GPS and GPS-enabled monitoring systems. At the same time, the quest for driverless vehicles is ramping up as well, and the software that will be required to operate such vehicles safely will be a key component. But software-driven vehicles also produce a new range of questions and concerns about data transfer, collection and, importantly, use. This has driven car companies to take clear stances on the use of data and privacy. The car as your living room "A car is one's second living room today," Audi Chief Executive Rupert Stadler said recently during a business event in Berlin attended by Google Chairman Eric Schmidt. "That's private. The only person who needs access to the data onboard is the customer," he said, adding Audi "takes that seriously." Data about a car's location (and, naturally, the car's occupant) as well as its speed could prove to be attractive to advertisers, insurance companies and communications firms who might use the data for their own commercial objectives. Already, German automakers are lobbying government regulators to make sure they take a strict line in establishing data privacy, an action that would, they hope, make it more difficult if not impossible for software and telecom firms to establish a data-driven business model in the automobile industry. "The customer wants to be at the focus, and does not want to be exploited," said Stadler. "The Internet, cookies and other data collectors are almost common courtesy." As further reported by the UK's Daily Mail: Speaking at the same event, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said the Internet technology company wants 'essential' German expertise to realize its European automobile projects. The California-based company has worked with Audi, Adam Opel AG and Volkswagen AG in an 'Automobile Alliance' for about a year, Schmidt said. The stance taken by Stadler, CEO of Volkswagen's flagship automobile division, is similar in terms of privacy to positions taken by auto rival Daimler which, like Audi, has developed a driverless vehicle. Audi, Daimler's Mercedes and BMW, along with private equity firm General Atlantic, are together bidding for Nokia's mapping, as part of a larger push in to development of software and autonomous cars, the Daily Mail reported, citing anonymous sources who spoke to Reuters in May. "Gobbling up info on you and trying to monetize it" Critics of Google and its alleged pursuit of marketing technology to accompany driverless vehicles include Apple CEO Tim Cook. Recently, he launched a broadside against Google and other rivals, accusing them of "gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it." In being honored for "corporate leadership" during the Electronic Privacy Information Center's Champions of Freedom event June 1 in Washington, D.C., Cook spoke to the crowd remotely. "Like many of you, we at Apple reject the idea that our customers should have to make tradeoffs between privacy and security," he said. "I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information," he said. "They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be." As noted by Natural News in early June, the Web's newest search engine, Good Gopher, is set to launch soon. Good Gopher is the world's first privacy-protecting search engine that bans corporate propaganda and government disinfo.
