GE unveils new version of Centricity PACS-IW

GE Healthcare IT has introduced its Centricity PACS-IW version 3.7.1., a solution that derives from GE’s Dynamic Imaging.

The recent iteration of the Centricity PACS-IW expands its web-based PACS technology, delivering additional tools aimed to sustain various IT models for outpatient imaging centers, virtual radiology practices, physician offices and hospitals, GE said.

The company said its new capabilities include:
  • Study Layout and Navigator enhancements, including an ergonomic approach to user interface design that replaces the drag-and-drop interface;
  • Updated comparison capability, which allows the concurrent display of series from a number of studies, all at the control of the user; and
  • HTML templates for referring physician result emails to include customer branding.
