June 10, 2011 – Viztek debuted an exam turnaround time (TAT) management feature for its Opal-RAD PACS. Designed to streamline the workflow of teleradiology practices, the feature prioritizes exams based on a client’s contracted time to perform study reading. The feature uses a color-based system to notify radiologists of the remaining time before a scheduled reading must be completed. After users input reading time parameters for each facility, worklist population and priority level is fully automatic.
