At this year’s RSNA, GE Healthcare will showcase the Signa PET/MR, a time-of-flight (TOF) capable, integrated, simultaneous positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) system.

Founded nearly 25 years ago and based in Cincinnati, Ohio, ProScan Imaging is one the largest privately held teleradiology companies in the world. ProScan provides teleradiology services for over 300 locations across North America and around the globe, and owns and operates 26 outpatient imaging centers in seven states.

Due to historical efforts to accommodate both staff and customers, in 2004 the ProScan Family of Companies employed three different PACS solutions from three different vendors. This complex environment presented many technical and maintenance challenges, and required staff to be trained and proficient on multiple systems.

By replacing these multiple existing PACS solutions with IntelePACS in 2006, ProScan provided its thirty radiologists a single, easy-to-use, enterprise platform to drive performance across multiple sites. IntelePACS’ rich automated workflow features and the system’s high performance have greatly enhanced radiologist productivity, while playing a significant role in improving collaboration among the company’s highly trained and geographically distributed subspecialist radiologists.

“Using IntelePACS, I've been able to increase my productivity, probably in the 10 to 20 percent range,” said Malcolm Shupeck, M.D., a ProScan radiologist.

Intelerad’s architecture makes IntelePACS a portable solution, enabling ProScan’s radiologists to read studies from any location with the same superior user experience. This is especially important for radiologists who move between imaging centers during the course of a day, and when radiologists read studies from home for urgent case coverage.
