U of Miami installs Thinking Systems PACS

The University of Miami School of Medicine has installed a Thinking Systems PACS for the management of PET-CT and nuclear medicine images.  The decision was based on finding a system with efficient display and review functionality, appropriate quantitative analysis, reliable archiving of large image data sets and streamlined offsite data access through a web-based architecture.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
