Cardiovascular Information System

Called the Xcelera R2.1, the system expands into nuclear cardiology domain with new modalities, integrated workflow, and patient-centric work-space design. The system was developed by Philips Medical Systems (Best, The Netherlands), and is used for documentation, viewing, quantification and reporting tasks, and provides clinicians with access to relevant images and information on patients across the hospital from a single workspace.

"Integration is among the most critical necessities facing the cardiovascular world today,” said Oran Muduroglu, chief executive officer, Healthcare Informatics, Philips Medical Systems. "With this new release of Xcelera, we've streamlined workflow by providing instant access to all relevant images and information--across all cardiovascular modalities--at one location.”

In addition to managing examination results in a patient centric-manner, the new release of Xcelera also brings a host of new or enhanced clinical and reporting tools for two-dimensional (2D) and 3D echocardiography, cardiovascular x-ray, nuclear cardiology (powered by AutoQuant), 2D and 3D cardiac CT and MR, as well as for managing EP recording and mapping information. The new design of results management and availability of new and enhanced clinical tools enables cardiac professionals to more effectively diagnose a patient's condition and subsequently make more informed decisions about the method of treatment.

Xcelera R2.1 is pending regulatory clearance in the United States but currently available outside North America.
