At the 2017 Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting (RSNA 2017), Konica Minolta will demonstrate how the KDR Advanced U-Arm (AU) System can help radiology practices improve workflow and patient satisfaction while providing impressive clinical images to help clinicians make better decisions, sooner.
Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. supported ultrasound education for physiatrists in physical medicine and rehabilitation by sponsoring workshops at the annual assembly of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R), Oct. 12-15 in Denver.
A battle is raging in imaging IT today. Once a profitable hunting ground for traditional picture archiving and communication system (PACS) firms, new market entrants from the content management, archiving and informatics market are looking to disrupt the status quo. Pushing “deconstruction,” “reconstruction” and “distributed” multi-vendor imaging IT models, they have grabbed the attention of healthcare providers.
Network Radiology, a leading independent radiology center and teleradiology service provider in Cleveland, is using Exa PACS/RIS from Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. to help increase productivity and enable high reading volumes for both business applications. With a growing number of imaging studies between the two business segments, Network Radiology relies on Exa PACS server-side rendering and the solution’s diagnostic-quality zero footprint universal viewer for fast access to imaging studies from virtually any location, workstation or modality.
Konica Minolta will highlight its Exa Enterprise Imaging platform at the 2017 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Nov. 26-Dec. 1 in Chicago.
Envision Diagnostic Center (Novi, Mich.) has implemented Exa PACS (picture archiving and communication system) from Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. to facilitate the sharing of multispecialty medical images and reports while enabling the use of computerized physician order entry (CPOE).
Konica Minolta takes a top-down approach to looking at an entire facility and removing the departmental approach. Featured is the Exa Platform. It provides the infrastructure for managing data across the imaging workflow.
At the 2017 annual meeting of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM), June 1-3 in Pittsburgh, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. will showcase advanced specialty viewing capabilities of the Exa Enterprise Imaging platform. The platform facilitates the viewing of large medical imaging files, such as 3-D mammography, cardiac imaging and nuclear medicine, quickly and efficiently on existing workstations throughout the enterprise. With the Exa diagnostic quality Zero Footprint Universal Viewer, clinicians can view these images and more from any modality and any vendor. Exa delivers relevant priors from the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) or vendor neutral archive (VNA), including 3-D breast tomosynthesis and cardiovascular images quickly and securely.
The implementation of electronic health records (EHR) has created an expectation that all patient data, including images, should be available in one location. Today, reports describing images are not enough, as many referring physicians want to see the images, and many use them to help guide therapies. This has caused an increased demand to exchange medical images in the various departments of healthcare settings.
Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. announced its participation as a sponsor of the Pre-Conference Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Workshop at the 2017 Society of Breast Imaging (SBI)/American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging Symposium, April 6-9 in Los Angeles. The workshop provided eight hours of initial training in DBT as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and attendees had the opportunity to review and report cases on individual DBT workstations, such as Konica Minolta’s Exa Mammo.
