PACS Improves Reading of Studies

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 16 Feb 2006
A new picture archiving and communications system (PACS) provides several major enhancements to help radiologists efficiently read studies, including the ability to query and retrieve studies from third-party digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) sources, reserve studies, and to mark studies as preliminary.

The Fusion Matrix PACS, version 2.1, developed by Merge eMed (Milwaukee, WI, USA), has added new tools such as triangulation, which lets the user easily define a target point on an image to view the corresponding anatomic position in other series.

The new software is sold as a stand-alone PACS solution or as part of the Fusion radiology information system [RIS]/PACS MX, which integrates business and clinical workflow. More...
"This newest release follows a product innovation process that includes conceptual design based on customer input, customer research, and usability testing,” remarked Barbara Dumery, senior product manager, Merge eMed. "Fusion Matrix PACS continues to be focused on creating the absolute best workflow environment for our customers along with a highly productive workspace for radiologists.”

"We are very pleased with this newest version of the Fusion Matrix PACS,” stated Dr. Ramin Abrahim of Washington Radiology Associates (Washington DC, USA). "We have already seen efficiencies in study assignment and retrieval, and the radiologists are happy to have even more flexibility in their reading worklist.

Merge eMed is focused on increasing productivity for radiology departments and specialty practices, imaging centers, and hospitals. By combining sophisticated RIS, PACS, advanced visualization, and clinical imaging applications, the company provides integrated end-to-end software systems and professional services.
