GE, Orthocrat join forces to offer orthopedic templating

GE Healthcare-Dynamic Imaging Solutions has partnered with Orthocrat, a provider of orthopedic preoperative templating software, to introduce an integrated digital image management and surgical planning solution for orthopedic surgeons. 

GE Healthcare’s Centricity PACS-IW for hospitals and imaging centers and Centricity PACS Office-IW for physician offices offer tight integration to Orthocrat TraumaCad software version 2.0, providing web-based, single-click access to digital orthopedic templating tools. 

“With just a few clicks of the mouse, orthopedic surgeons can log on to Centricity PACS-IW, plan their surgeries with embedded TraumaCad tools, and then save those images and data right back into the patient’s folder on Centricity PACS-IW.  It’s a self-contained unit that bridges the workflow gap,” said Zeev Glozman, co-founder of the Petach-Tikva, Israel-based Orthocrat.
