Carestream Health has released enhancements for its image acquisition software used with Directview Vita/Vita LE/Vita SE and Point-of-Care CR systems.

Among the new features are a database for managing patient studies, a customizable user interface, one-click image transmission and a collection of editing tools.

The software platform is currently available as an upgrade to existing tabletop CR systems and Rochester, N.Y.-based Carestream said the software will begin shipping with all new systems in early November.
