OmegaAI adds 'progressive loading' for real-time radiology image reading

Cloud PACS provider RamSoft has announced “progressive loading” as a new feature for its OmegaAI application built on the Microsoft Azure infrastructure. The new feature enables radiologists to swiftly load large imaging results from multiple modalities via a web browser for immediate reading. 

Progressive loading ensures that the first images load almost instantly, with subsequent images loading progressively in the background as the radiologist examines the results of a patient’s scan. AI supports the uploading by prioritizing images and automatically highlighting clinically relevant findings for review.

Notably, the platform's cloud-native architecture ensures fast image loading irrespective of the network type, surpassing most on-premises enterprise imaging systems.

The Azure ecosystem is HIPAA compliant and ensures scalability and security of radiology images.

Harvard’s David A. Rosman, MD, MBA, explains how moving imaging outside of hospitals could save billions of dollars for U.S. healthcare.

Back in September, the FDA approved GE HealthCare’s new PET radiotracer, flurpiridaz F-18, for patients with known or suspected CAD. It is seen by many in the industry as a major step forward in patient care. 

After three years of intermittent shortages of nuclear imaging tracer technetium-99m pyrophosphate, there are no signs of the shortage abating.
