SIIM: Sectra demonstrates web-based PACS

 MINNEAPOLIS--Sectra touted new capabilities of its web-based PACS IDS7 during the Society of Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting last week.

According to Sectra’s Director Marketing Brian Anderson, the highlights include:
  • Database architecture treats image data as multi-dimensional volumes;
  • RapidConnect, data streaming and image compression that transfers image data over low-bandwidth networks and enables 3D manipulation before data has been loaded to benefit remote reading situations and enable diagnostic functionality at any workstation; and
  • Updates to worklist management, hanging protocols and navigation of patient information.
 

Around the web

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

Richard Heller III, MD, RSNA board member and senior VP of policy at Radiology Partners, offers an overview of policies in Congress that are directly impacting imaging.
 

The two companies aim to improve patient access to high-quality MRI scans by combining their artificial intelligence capabilities.
