First Diagnostic Display Cleared for Viewing All Types of Breast Imaging

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 04 Nov 2015
A healthcare imaging specialist vendor has announce that one of the most prominent diagnostic displays it produces has been clinically validated for use for both Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and multimodality breast imaging.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD USA) indicated the display for use in breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and ultrasound, breast ultrasound, vascular and gynecological ultrasound on a single display, in grayscale, color, 2D or 3D, static or dynamic.

The display had been previously cleared for viewing of mammography images, breast tomosynthesis, and PACS images.

The Coronis Uniti display was announced by Barco (Kortrijk, Belgium) and can used to access any image on a single workstation, saving time, and providing workflow and clinical benefits. The ability to run side-by-side comparisons and fuse images such as those from breast ultrasound and conventional mammography in women with dense breasts, has resulted in better detection of early breast cancer. The display can automatically set the correct color and grayscale settings for every image modality.
Coronis Uniti also enables radiologists to accurately visualize moving images in a 3D stack, ensuring efficient diagnosis, and a rapid workflow to prevent loss of detail while scrolling. Barco also found a way to counteract motion blur when reviewing image sequences.

Lynda Domogalla, Barco’s VP product marketing for Healthcare, said, “With Coronis Uniti, we wanted to break through the technical boundaries of multimodality integration and deliver the first unified workflow for radiologists in order to improve reading productivity as well health outcomes. We have succeeded in developing a ‘one size fits all’ diagnostic display—which defines a new bar for clinically-focused display solutions. To maximize the diagnostic value of color breast images, we developed new technologies to calibrate and maintain the consistency of these color images, and we are leading in the definition of a Color Standard Display Function (CSDF) to ensure the accuracy and consistency of color images on diagnostic displays.”
