NovaRad (Booth 4265) is showcasing its NovaRIS/NovaPACS 7.1, including new protocol functions, such as automated comparative and single-study display enabling two hanging protocols; series start in a cine, MPR or other advanced format; and study duplication for manipulation and viewing in different windows or levels. The web-based system is available in Spanish, and through an application service provider model. Additional enhancements include series display settings that enable a radiologist to designate an image work ow according to reading preference. Also, new controls for scrolling speeds and dexterity for larger image count studies, and series notiﬁers on thumbnails to indicate what studies are open. Philips Healthcare (Booth 7173) is featuring upgrades for its iSite PACS and Xiris 8.0 RIS solutions. New features include: batch transcriptionist, messaging, VIP protection, Digi-form data mining and a Daily Dashboard of Xiris activity. Xiris 8.0 leverages the components to support mammography and other treatment cycles, linking visits and exams, plus consolidated reporting and dictation. The highlight of Xiris 8.0 is XRE 2.0, the next generation of Philips’ embedded reading environment for managing worklists, images and result reporting with voice commands using the SpeechMagic voice recognition system. Philips also is introducing new 3D clinical applications for the latest version of iSite PACS, available as add-on options, including Philips iSite Volume Vision. Also, iSite PACS features an open Application Programming Interface that enables institutions to connect with clinical and IT applications. RamSoft (Booth 600) is unveiling a new version of its RIS/PACS software, PowerServer 4.6, which includes billing integration, routing with RamSoft PowerCache and Smart Routing Technology functions. PowerServer’s PowerReader workstation supports breast MRI, mammography and ultrasound reading from one client and interface; CAD image overlays work with CAD package that conforms to DICOM CAD speciﬁcations, including Hologic and iCAD. The overlays display calciﬁcation clusters and mass/density in tissue via polygon and ellipse markers. Other features in PowerServer 4.6 include a web-based referring physician portal, study alerts, a management reporting module and auto-distribution of reports via email. RIS Concepts (Booth 7703) is introducing billing features for its RCI-RIS, a web-based multi-facility application, and RADRIS, a web-based work ow application. The RCI-RIS has the capability to post payments directly to the RIS, integrating the information into the RIS Concepts billing application.
