Agfa Healthcare

Agfa Healthcare (Booth 4800) is highlighting three core themes at its booth: integrated workflow for radiology, enterprise image storage and management and enterprise clinical visualization.

The firm is showcasing its web-based enterprise scheduling and planning solution, IMPAX Scheduling. The product enables hospitals and clinics of all sizes to increase productivity by efficiently managing appointments and multiple resources in real-time, according to Agfa.

The company is unveiling its SE Image Management for managing image data in a CR environment. Designed to help facilitate the transition from analog to digital, its functionality enables practices to manage rapidly increasing information volumes, and increase efficiency and productivity at an affordable price. The product supports single- and multi-user environments as well as key requirements and configurations through multimodality archiving and viewing components.

Comprised of three main software components—SE Server, SE Client and SE Standalone—it complements a practice’s digital acquisition system by providing the tools to store, manipulate, manage and digitally output acquired images, for CR and other modalities. The SE suite seamlessly integrates with Agfa’s CR systems and hardcopy imagers.
