 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.
