RSNA: AccelaRAD to debut expanded SaaS platform

AccelaRAD (Booth #2643) will unveil its expanded SeeMyRadiology.com platform to provide universal access to medical images through a Web portal for hospitals, radiologists, physicians and patients at the 2009 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting.

A software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, SeeMyRadiology.com utilizes cloud computing architecture to store client images on a centralized cluster of servers. Authorized users can upload and access appropriate files, independent of location and native imaging application.

Using the platform, radiologists benefit from universal worklists, combining exams from multiple locations. The application can automate offsite reading workflow, with radiologists receiving appropriate data for sub-specialty reading.

The company said its CloudPACS image interpretation tool set includes viewers for all imaging specialties as well as embedded dictation, transcription with voice recognition, template reporting and management reporting tools.
