RamSoft PowerServer 4.6 
RamSoft (Booth 600) is unveiling the latest version of its RIS/PACS software, PowerServer 4.6, at this year’s RSNA in Chicago.  

The firm is demonstrating capabilities of PowerServer 4.6 including billing integration, intelligent routing with RamSoft PowerCache and Smart Routing Technology (SRT) functions which ensures that study routing is fast, secure, safe, and more configurable.

PowerServer’s PowerReader workstation supports breast MRI, mammography, and ultrasound reading from a single client and interface; which means that radiologists can have their breast MRIs, ultrasound, and mammography images open at the same time CAD image overlays work with any CAD package that conforms to DICOM CAD specifications, including Hologic and iCAD. The overlays display both calcification clusters and mass/density in tissue via polygon and ellipse markers.  

Other features in PowerServer 4.6 include a web-based referring physician portal, real-time study alerts, an integrated management reporting module, and auto-distribution of reports via email.
