Cedara spotlights clinical workflow applications at AHRA 2004

Cedara Software Corp. showcased clinical workflow applications that meet the mobility needs of imaging centers and ambulatory care institutions, as well as image management technology, at AHRA this week in Boston.

Cedara I-Reach is a web-based PACS that features a comprehensive set of specialist tools, such as orthopedic templates. This year, Cedara added progressive decompression technology to offer better performance for image display.

Cedara I-Report CT software features navigation tools for multislice CT data sets, three dimensional volume rendering, MPR, and measurement tools, support for orthopedic templates, and soon to be released software for PET/CT and lung CAD (computer assisted detection). New viewing protocols, flexible navigation, and keyboard shortcuts dramatically improve workflow and usability of this application. The product also supports all other major medical imaging modalities.

Cedara I-ReadMammo is a digital mammography screening and diagnostic workstation. The FDA-approved product utilizes dedicated mammography tools that are designed to improve ease of use and automate presentation procedures to optimize current and prior mammography images.

Cedara OrthoWorks is a PACS treatment and digital planning system for orthopedic surgeons. Specially designed to improve the efficiency of clinical workflow, the application includes acquisition capabilities for all orthopedic modalities, including CT, MRI, CR, DR and film digitizers.
