TECHNOLOGY PREVIEWS  RIS/PACS ing, peer review and DICOM structured reports. Capabilities include a zero-download web-based clinical review application and operation of the Unity RIS/PACS in a virtualized server environment. New features include: Critical Results, which tracks values, tests and audit timeliness of reporting results; Peer Review, which evaluates exam reports and diagnoses from other physicians in the practice; and DICOM Structured Reports, which captures DICOM data from the modality to the exam report. The ﬁrm also is showcasing its CS Series Workstations, a range of Unity RIS/PACS software modules that run on clientsupplied hardware, as well as Multiple Volume Support. Eclipsys (Booth 7321) at RSNA is showcasing Sunrise Radiology, its web-based RIS with embedded speech recognition and reporting. Available as a standalone solution or integrated with Eclipsys’ Sunrise Clinical Manager enterprise clinical information solution, Sunrise Radiology also can be integrated with Eclipsys’ Sunrise PACS, powered by Sectra. Emageon (Booth 8537) is featuring its new Outside Study Gateway (OSG) that enables outside facilities to perform direct DICOM transmission of PACS images to the receiving hospital’s OSG server, providing for integrity checks as part of auto-forwarding into the hospital’s PACS. The studies are transmitted across a VPN and segregated, avoiding overlaps in patient IDs. OSG allows side-by-side comparisons of exams performed with the outside exams from a remote facility. eRAD (Booth 6254) is introducing its eRAD RIS/PACS and additional PACS Viewer plug-in modules. eRAD RIS is the order entry, scheduling, reporting and charge capture add-on to eRAD PACS, which includes billing system integration, transaction logging, results reporting and automated report fax and email notiﬁcation. A new calcium scoring plug-in module to the eRAD PACS guides the user through ID and classiﬁcation of calcium deposits. An eRAD PACS Image Fusion plug-in module integrates visualization capabilities into its viewer, which combines PET/CT and SPECT/CT structural and functional images sharing spatial resolution characteristics into a single volume. Fujiﬁlm Medical Systems USA (Booth 4039) is demonstrating its Synapse PACS, along with new integrated 3D capabilities, communication and collaboration tools. Fujiﬁlm’s Managed Services platform is being highlighted, which provides the ability to achieve an interpretation platform. The ﬁrm also is demonstrating Synapse PACS hosted in a virtualized environment. Fujiﬁlm also is integrating RIS/PACS with Fujiﬁlm’s Synapse PACS and Empiric Systems’ Encompass.NET RIS. GE Healthcare IT (Booth 5529) is introducing updates to its Centricity IW product family. The Centricity PACS Web DX provides users with web-based diagnostic and reporting tools to perform image manipulations to include 3D (MIP/MPR), along with features of the PACS- IW viewer that change study status in the Centricity PACS 3.0 database. GE is unveiling Centricity Precision Reporting, an embedded application within Centricity RIS-IC that leverages Advanced Speech Understanding technology to capture a speaker’s meaning. Centricity RIS-IC 10.6 offers integrated electronic forms and patient self-service registration kiosks. The ﬁrm also is featuring Centricity PACS-IW v3.7.1.1, including the introduction of Centricity PACS-IW web-based oncology work ow. Version 3.7.1.1 offers new tools for integrated breast imaging work ow, a new Study List and Patient Folder. GE also is introducing PACS-IW character sets supporting Japanese, German, Italian and French. For web-based Centricity RIS/PACS-IW, GE is introducing version 4.1.1, which includes a new Collector Worklist, Authorization Alerts, DRA Schedules and management modules for management of collection agencies, collection letters and payment plans.
