Digisonics upgrades OB image management, reporting system

Image management and reporting software provider Digisonics has released a new version of its OB-View/OB-Windows image management and reporting system, with updated features for both image display and structured reporting.

The updated version offers a new graphical user interface that will improve layout on wide-screen monitors and dual-monitor systems, as well as a new video control bar, zoom feature, archiving tool and a “Ready View” feature which provides immediate viewing of images during scans on both local and remote systems, said the Houston-based company.

The new release can be used on workstations with Windows 7 operating systems, said Digisonics.
