Georgia hospital selects Digisonics cardiology management system

Meadows Regional Medical Center in Vidalia, Ga., has installed Digisonics’ image management and structured reporting system for cardiology, the DigiView CVIS/PACS.

The system, along with web-based remote viewing application DigiNet Pro, will enable image analysis and end-user configurable structured reporting in a searchable database for various cardiology modalities including echo, vascular ultrasound and nuclear studies, as well as cardiac cath, stated the Houston-based company.   

According to Digisonics, the system will also automate the transmission of patient demographics and measurements from the site’s ultrasound systems, as well as a hemodynamics link that will auto-populate hemodynamic measurement information from the site’s Siemens Sensis system directly into the CVIS database and cath lab structured reporting forms.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
