Show Preview RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA Toshiba Showcases Infinix-i 5-axis Cardiovascular System Toshiba will showcase its Infinix-i floor mounted, 5-axis system at RSNA 2008. This cardiovascular lab features patient access and coverage, making it possible to obtain images without repositioning patients. The system includes a high-definition flat panel detector and the new Advanced Image Processing (AIP) technology that enhances the display of small details, including intricate blood vessels and small devices, such as catheters. The Infinix–i 5-axis system is available with different size flat panel detectors to perform cardiac and vascular procedures. Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. | www.medical.toshiba.com Carestream Debuts New SuperPACS Architecture Carestream Health is unveiling a new SuperPACS architecture that will allow healthcare providers to efficiently connect disparate PACS at multiple sites throughout a healthcare system. The company is also showing its newest versions of RIS and PACS software — all three platforms are works-in-progress. The SuperPACS architecture will provide an umbrella structure that communicates with existing PACS from multiple vendors to help create an efficient enterprise-wide PACS that will: offer a unified, common global worklist; use existing PACS systems, avoiding replacement costs; apply customer-defined rules to route specific types of exams to preferred radiologists for that specialty; and reportedly improve radiologist productivity through a single desktop with one user interface and one set of clinical application tools. Carestream Health www.carestreamhealth.com Visualize Freedom Ziostation™ Makes It Possible The Ziostation thin client system removes the boundaries and limitations of existing advanced visualization solutions with a revolutionary network architecture that creates the ﬁrst truly uniﬁed 3D imaging solution utilizing standard commercial hardware. This sets you free from the dedicated workstation, delivering the full power, image integrity and advanced 3D functionality of the Ziostation across your enterprise. Web-Based Voyager PACS Stresses Convenience Voyager PACS is a Web-enabled, server-based PACS that provides image archiving, soft copy reporting, management and distribution functionality. The system receives images from modalities or from other sources (i.e., teleradiology) via DICOM and stores these on the PACS server or attached storage device. The studies can then be viewed, reported and manipulated by the Voyager Diagnostic workstations connected to the PACS server via LAN, WAN or Internet connection. HL7 enables the solution to provide interfacing to the RIS. Voyager PACS | www.voyagerpacs.com Work. Share. Collaborate. The boundaries have fallen.
