These digital imaging systems proved invaluable when the hospital began receiving Boston Marathon bombing patients just 15 minutes after the first explosion. “Seconds count when you have 24 patients that have lost limbs or have severe shrapnel injuries.
Medical imaging systems involved in this contract include Carestream’s versatile family of digital radiography systems that deliver rapid access to X-ray exams by radiologists and physicians, which is designed to improve patient care.
The mobile system is equipped with Carestream’s wireless, small-format DRX 2530C detector that fits easily into a neonatal incubator X-ray tray. The hospital has a 57-bed NICU and is a regional referral center for high-risk neonatal ICU services.
One key advantage of Carestream’s Vue Mammography PACS is its ability to support a single, fully featured desktop that enables streamlined reading of all breast imaging procedures as well as delivering advanced 3D processing tools.
The new software will include a reporting capability that collects and distributes dose information from Carestream X-ray imaging systems to a healthcare provider’s radiology image management system.
This developmental project is of significant interest in the region as it will provide simplified search and retrieval of imaging documents, powerful diagnostic and post-processing tools and tele-imaging solutions.
SingHealth and Eastern Health Alliance (EH Alliance), and the Singapore Health Ministry’s IT arm, IHiS, have purchased Carestream’s Vue RIS and Vue PACS to enable better access and management of radiology results and patient imaging data.
Carestream will show at RSNA its newest version of image acquisition software that will include innovative standard and optional features for its CR and DR systems.
This new module is scheduled to include the display of DICOM-compliant 2D synthetic views, which are calculated from the 3D dataset.
Vue RIS will support new features that will address Stage 2 Meaningful Use and new ICD-10 codes in the U.S. and innovative integrated RIS/PACS reporting that will expedite physician access to patient information and images.
