Digisonics introduces seamless integration between Cardiovascular Information System Solutions and GE EchoPAC

HOUSTON (October 26, 2015) – Digisonics has introduced seamless integration between its Cardiovascular Information System Solutions (CVIS) and GE Healthcare’s EchoPAC for advanced analysis of 3D/4D studies and strain rate. A single click launches the EchoPAC software directly from a study image within the Digisonics CVIS.

The clinical workflow is streamlined with the elimination of having to toggle between two separate workstations and applications. The user can perform the advanced 3D/4D analysis in EchoPAC and store the processed image back into the Digisonics CVIS, facilitating a seamless workflow.

“Digisonics is very pleased to add the GE EchoPAC application to our best-in-class suite of CVIS interfaces,” commented Ernest Jackson, Chief Technology Officer.  “With EchoPAC, users have the ability to post-process the original RAW data acquired on the ultrasound system, expanding productivity and leveraging the advanced quantitative and multi-dimensional analysis provided.”

GE’s EchoPAC technology provides image processing, annotation, analysis, measurement, report generation, communication, storage and retrieval of ultrasound images that are acquired via the GE Vivid family of ultrasound scanners. The EchoPAC software is an integral component of each Vivid system, providing the post-acquisition image management and reporting functions of the scanner.
