September 25, 2015 — Agfa HealthCare announced that it will demonstrate the company's focus on "Innovating Visual Healthcare" at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2015 annual meeting, Nov. 29-Dec. 4 in Chicago.

Products on display will include:

  • Agfa's completely consolidated Enterprise Imaging platform, which handles image management from acquisition and diagnostics through distribution. The solution offers a flexible workflow engine, a blend of structured and voice recognition reporting, advanced image processing and integration of clinical information, all in one, modular sophisticated platform. It simplifies secure access to a single, comprehensive patient imaging record, empowers physicians to make informed decisions through multi-specialty collaboration, and addresses many different process workflows to help improve the delivery of patient care and streamlines costs.
  • MUSICA image processing software. A truly intelligent and independent solution, it provides consistently high image quality to support diagnosis, while saving both time and effort. The software supports all of Agfa’s computed radiography (CR) and direct radiography (DR) solutions. Enhancements to the latest generation of MUSICA include no need to adjust window level and a balanced presentation of different tissue structures for comfortable reading. The MUSICA platform also supports the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle in managing patient radiation dose.
  • The new DR 600, a fully automated, state-of-the-art, multi-detector, high-productivity and high-throughput digital X-ray room and Mobile DR with FreeView technology, which makes navigating with the highly maneuverable DR Mobile even easier and safer, are in the spotlight at the show. DR 600 is a work in progress with regulatory clearances pending in the United States and Canada.
