NVIDIA Corp. and Planar Systems have developed a 10-Bit mammography display that encompasses a method of “pixel packing,” allowing 10-bit or 12-bit grayscale data to be transmitted from an NVIDIA Quadro graphics board to a Planar Dome display using a standard DVI cable.

Im3D – Medical Imaging introduced a new DICOM visualizer, VISOR that reportedly enhances the functionality of im3D’s diagnostic workstation by grouping and displaying any number of radiological exams for quick, single-source visualization.

VISOR enables the radiologist to confront and compare exams, as well as relay exams to specialized CAD applications thereby optimizing the overall workflow. The system interfaces with im3D’s CAD-COLON diagnostic system, a commercially available interactive workstation with field-proven results, as well as with upstream PACS systems.

Agfa HealthCare showcased the release of its IMPAX 6.4, featuring advanced workflow design focusing on the seamless integration of RIS/PACS/Reporting information and image management into one workflow from start to finish.

The system includes new visualization and navigation tools for large volume studies (CT/MR), with complex multiseries review. IMPAX 6.4 also focuses on bringing disparate information to the radiologists' desktop, irrespective of
the source.

The Empiric Systems Encompass.NET 5.0 is the company’s latest, Web-based, fully integrated, single database, RIS/PACS/Billing system that includes an entirely re-engineered GUI, "profile-based" advanced scheduling logic, embedded instant messaging, patient self/on-line registration, "Draw-able" forms and sheets and a new DICOM Web-viewer.
