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.

These new capabilities will be demonstrated at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) exhibit that begins Sunday, Dec.1, 2013. 

This program helps eliminate the capital investment in film printing systems and offers a payment model based on per-print usage, with management through an easy-to-use and comprehensive Web portal.

ONRAD is a leading provider of around-the-clock radiology services at U.S. hospitals which provides on-site radiology support, sub-specialty interpretations, after-hours teleradiology and RIS+PACS support, as well as final and preliminary radiology reports.

The new systems will provide rapid access to X-ray images for surgeons working in 56 surgical suites. With 1,065 licensed beds, Baylor University Medical Center serves as the flagship hospital of Baylor Health Care System and is a major patient care, teaching and research center for the Southwest.

This versatile offering is ideal for urgent care centers, imaging clinics and a broad range of physicians and specialists, including orthopaedists, podiatrists and chiropractors.

The company’s affiliated radiology group has specialists in neurology, mammography, orthopaedics and other fields who read for hospitals as well as imaging centers.
