Foresight introduces new TIMS PACS

Foresight Imaging has introduced a new platform for its TIMS DICOM System that custom-designed with off-the-shelf components to provide a much smaller footprint in a radiology facility.
       
With small dimensions and weighing just 12 pounds it is designed to be very managabe.
Yet the smaller size hasn't diminished its power as it also includes a larger 120 GibaByte (GB) hard drive, 10/100/1000 Mbit network, 802.11G wireless network, and an auto-switching power supply, the company said.
   
The TIMS DICOM System is a fully configured workstation that can easily convert studies to DICOM for viewing and storage on PACS. Additionally, TIMS is multi-modality and can acquire from all analog video and DICOM modalities including ultrasound, CT, MR, endoscopy, angiography, among others.  Once the images or video streams are acquired and converted to DICOM, they are instantly available for viewing, simple image processing, DICOM send, DICOM print, PostScript print, or CD/DVD burning.
