Foresight extends TIMS market

Foresight Imaging introduces new features such as real-time teleradiology, DICOM query/retrieve, configurable toolbar and DICOM print improvements to extend the use of TIMS beyond traditional analog-to-DICOM conversion.

The new capabilities are a result of customer requests over the last several months, and now available after extensive beta testing at several TIMS sites.

"We are very excited about the new TIMS software release," said Neil Passam, senior radiographer at Bronglais General Hospital in Wales, United Kingdom. "The TIMS Consultant helps us to connect our hospital with remote radiologists in Wales. This real-time teleradiology capability has allowed us to process patient procedures more quickly, enabling our department to be more efficient. With DICOM query/retrieve, our physicians can view previous procedures right at the point of care without delay."
