November 18, 2009 - As radiology drives imaging toward the electronic medical record (EMR), a new PACS offering for EMR, HIS and Practice Management vendors fully integrates the complete range of medical images with EMR software of almost any kind.

November 18, 2009 - Advanced visualization tools are increasingly important to support radiologists as they diagnose complex MR, CT, SPECT cases. To meet the demands on radiologists to complete reads efficiently, accurately and provide these tools, a workstation should be built on highly scalable architecture and be accessible remotely.

November 18, 2009 – The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) recently announced it will increase the reimbursement for positron emission tomography (PET) cardiac procedures in 2010.

November 18, 2009 – Utilizing newer cardiac computed tomography (CT) machines to find plaque and blockages in the coronary arteries led to better survival among those undergoing the test, according to a study presented Sunday at the American Heart Association Meeting in Orlando, Fla.

November 17, 2009 – Scientists have created a one-step, point-of-care diagnostic test based on a silicon chip that uses a smaller blood sample, is significantly faster, portable, and easier to use than current testing devices used to detect disease markers.

November 18, 2009 - Referring physicians and their patients now have access to diagnostic images with a new browser-based application for viewing patient images and reports on any computer with an Internet connection.

November 17, 2009 – Spectral imaging shows promise in characterizing small lesions and eliminating imaging artifacts caused by foreign objects in the body.

November 16, 2009 - Chair of the American College of Radiology Board of Chancellors James H. Thrall, M.D., FACR, said today he is deeply concerned about U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) mammography recommendations, which would severely limit screening for breast cancer.

November 16, 2009 - Leica Microsystems has developed the new Leica DFC345 FX digital camera to provide low light fluorescence signals in live cell experiments.

Along with high sensitivity and high resolution, the camera features a fast image capture rate and a broad dynamic range, making it ideal for multidimensional live cell observation under low light conditions.


How do you define the ideal PACS workstation? There is no single answer just multiple solutions. Which one is right for your radiology department? That depends on the specific challenges facing your healthcare facility.
