NovaRad highlighted additional features PACS to its NovaPACS solution, including MIPs, Cardio Viewer and its Ortho Template Library at the PACS 2007 conference. The multiplanar reconstruction (MIPs) was added to provide high-volume cardiovascular studies with saggital and coronal viewing capabilities. The new Cardio Viewer clinical workstation, which offers cardio tools for both cardiologist and cath lab operators, serves as a stand-alone workstation or can be added to a NovaPACS clinical workstation.

Cerner showcased its multimedia solution, Multimedia Foundation, which allows you to manage multimedia objects – video, audio and signal data and diagnostic images – and integrate them the EMR, as storing medical objects with patient data becomes essential to a comprehensive EMR.

This single-archive stores and manages DICOM and non-DICOM media such as ECG waveforms, dermatology, wound care, PACS, patient photos, images for cardiology, dermatology and pathology, gastroenterology and ophthalmology, in addition to scanned documents.

BRIT Systems showcased at the PACS 2007 conference the Roentgen Router, a DICOM routing module designed for use with any DICOM-compliant PACS or as the foundation for a facility’s teleradiology capabilities at the upcoming.

Bycast StorageGrid Multisite aims to set the standard in high-performance storage solutions in response to high-growth expected in fixed content assets, such as medical images from MRI, CT and X-rays.

Amicas’ emphasized its Radstream works-in-progress Objective Acuity Scoring and Prioritization feature, plus Vision Reach, both designed to optimize radiology workflow by reducing interruptions and speeding up report turnaround times.

The Objective Acuity Scoring and Prioritization feature, a WIP developed at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, uses an algorithm that calculates the 25 most likely causes for interrupting Radiologists, and weighs each task on the worklist on a scale from 1-10 to prioritize each case.

The show floor at PACS 2007 staged the debut of Pacsgear's new MediaImport, a solution that enables access to non-DICOM sources such as documents and multimedia, as PACS evolves into a multimedia repository, managing JPEGs, AVIs and MPEGs, digital cameras, USB memory sticks or flash memory, in addition to DICOM.

The system imports external DICOM-compliant CDs/DVDs from a reportedly wide range of PACS vendors, supports DICOM modality worklists, allow editing patient demographics, changing fields such as Patient ID/MRN and accession number, prior to import.

Impac informed PACS 2007 attendees that it just completed its first installation of its new Mosaiq Oncology PACS, a system designed to manage increasingly large volumes of image data generated in radiotherapy, accommodating the complex workflow of radiation oncology (RT) and providing integration with the Mosaiq image-enabled EMR system.

The SimSuite System is driven by the standardized “Process of Care” model. The system’s haptics (tactile feedback), combined with simulated examples of actual patient scenarios and real images allow practitioners to formulate diagnoses, assess risk, perform procedures, address post-procedure issues and receive confidential feedback on over 800 metric data points.
