MedPACS reveals new Web PACS

MedPACS Displays Inc. has launched a new image and report distribution and review system called Vista.

 The system is an Intranet- or Internet-enabled picture archiving communication system (PACS) designed to allow radiologists and referring physicians to access images and reports from the hospital, imaging center and remote locations.

 Intended for busy radiology departments, remote image review and on-call applications, Vista meets HIPAA requirements since all access to patient data is password-protected and images and reports are encrypted both when transmitted and stored.

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.
