Matrox Graphics, Inc. (Montreal, Canada), a manufacturer of specialized graphics solutions, reported that GE Healthcare's (Chalfont St. Giles, UK) information technology (IT) division, in Dornstadt, Germany, is recommending Matrox Xenia Series display controller boards for GE Centricity RIS/PACS workstations.
Widely recognized as an industry leader in image and information management, GE Centricity RIS/PACS is developed with a strong commitment to improving patient care across the healthcare enterprise by enabling better, timelier decisions, combined with GE Centricity standards-based architecture, is helping healthcare providers leverage existing IT investments.
"Our evaluation of Matrox Xenia Series identified a number of strengths for Centricity PACS customers,” said Juergen Reyinger, vice president and general manager at GE Healthcare IT for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). "Installing one card instead of two for the classical three-monitor PACS workstation setup accelerates deployment and also reduces potential IT support issues across multiple stations, in an environment where downtime is not an option.”
Matrox Xenia Series' triple digital display support including forward- and backward-compatibility with a wide range of display brands, resolutions, and formats, fits well with GE's standards-based approach for radiology workstations. Excellent image quality at resolutions ranging from under 1 megapixel up to 8 megapixels and new technology to enable optimum display calibration (via Matrox DLC and 8/10/13-bit gamma LUTs [lookup tables]) are also key benefits. 1 gigabyte of on-board memory for smooth, effective performance boosts overall productivity, facilitating efficient diagnosis and reporting by medical imaging professionals on any known display.
"Matrox is pleased that Centricity RIS/PACS clients in Germany now have an approved Xenia Series display controller board to power their workstations,” said George Rigas, business development manager for Medical Imaging, Matrox Graphics, Inc. "With flexible display support and image quality that medical imaging professionals have always relied upon, users of Xenia Series will not be disappointed with this combination.”
