Boasting one database and a shared infrastructure that simplifies workflow for multiple departments, PicomEnterprise features several clinical applications for radiology, cardiology, nuclear medicine and orthopedics. Version 3.0 of the enterprise imaging solution has made a quantum leap from enterprise PACS to complete multi-department workflow system..

Providing 3:1 compression (vs. 2:1) for newly archived studies, the System Release 5.30 offers serviceability and capacity planning, storage analysis reports, network analysis reporting and server analysis reporting. Remote administration is available via Web interface, as well as archive explorer to view/edit patient, study and series image information. The system also enables users to authenticate, authorize and audit logs.

Vision Series PACS 5.0 supports digital mammography, 3-D rendering and orthopedic templating. This web-based PACS includes the latest operating system from Microsoft, database and archive technology from IBM and Web services from Microsoft and Java.

RadStream supports the automation and documentation of results communication and integrates disparate PACS viewers within the AMICAS RealTime Worklist based on a "most likely to interrupt" method.

At PACS 2007, Cerner will showcase its unified RIS/PACS solution, which has received several new enhancements, including a critical results solution that helps support JCAHO's Patient Safety Goal.

Even when it is a matter of life and death – access to the best care available is still a matter of dollars and cents.

Why do some physician’s feel the need to go off to semi-clandestine blogs to really speak their minds about PACS? I mean, aren’t the established open forums with endless threads of chatter where all of the action is? Or is it no longer a safe haven; where slander is too easily slung?
