New features include:
- A companion image (from the original exposure) for pneumothorax visualization that accentuates the appearance of free air in the chest cavity. A new ICU package also includes Tube and Line Visualization and automatic image display in the correct orientation.
- Pediatric-specific image processing that selects default parameters based on patient size.
- Software for chest imaging outlines areas in the image to alert a technologist if a retake might be needed due to incorrect positioning. Vendor-neutral IEC exposure index values allow technologists to see if they are within the acceptable exposure range.
- Prior Image Review software allows a user to query and retrieve prior images of the same patient from a PACS to review techniques and positioning.
