RSNA: NovaRad expands diagnostic suite

Novarad unveiled enhancements to NovaPACS at RSNA and showed updates to NovaRIS and NovaDash at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

The American Fork, Utah-based company said its diagnostic suite includes modular radiology technologies that run as standalone products or a combined system.

NovaPACS enhancements include virtual colonoscopy with 3D, multi-frame views and six simultaneous views. Cardiology enhancements include automatic vessel finding, cross section and curved multi-planar reconstruction vessel views. Screen shot captures are automatically saved to the PACS.

NovaRIS Billing updates include features to manage patient accounts such as viewing unbilled procedures, adding/editing/deleting claims and batch processing.

The NovaDash Radiology Dashboard presents historical, current and predictive views of radiology practice operations to track productivity.
