Web-Based PACS Designed for Windows Vista Compatibility

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 07 May 2008

A new web-based picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) has been developed to be compatible with the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.

CoActiv Medical (Ridgefield, CT, USA), a developer and marketer of radiology and related healthcare imaging information technologies, presented its next-generation Exam-PACS web-based system at the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) conference in Seattle, WA, USA, in April 2008.

According to Edward Heere, president and CEO of CoActiv, this important enhancement was added at the request of numerous CoActiv customers. "More and more referring physicians are using the latest Microsoft Windows release, although most radiology sites themselves are not making the change,” he said. "CoActiv clients wanted to make sure their customers were offered compatibility with the latest Microsoft software. So, we jumped in to fill a gap in the marketplace left by other PACS vendors.”

CoActiv Exam-PACS has a full range of innovative features. These include customizable, color-coded worklists, Exam-NET remote exam interpretation and reporting for teleradiology users, and ultra-fast, comprehensive electronic workflow through the CoActiv Paperless-PACS solution.

CoActiv Medical is a software and information technology (IT) systems provider to hospitals and imaging centers, offering a complete line of PACS, teleradiology, and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) utilities through their Exam-PACS picture archiving and communications system. Exam-PACS is an all-inclusive, cost-effective, enterprise PACS solution with image management tools designed for easy integration into imaging facilities of all sizes.

Images in a 75-year-old woman who underwent routine screening mammography in 2022. Left mediolateral oblique views shown from prior screening mammograms: (A) 2015, (B) 2018, (C) 2019, and (D) 2021. In (E) 2022, a new mass developed in the left breast at the 6-o’clock position (arrow), with a (F) corresponding irregular mass at US (arrow). Subsequent US-guided core needle biopsy yielded invasive ductal carcinoma, grade 2. The deep learning 5-year risk scores gradually increased from 2.0 (2015) to 2.1 (2018), 3.4 (2019), 3.6 (2021), and 15.3 (2022).

AI Tool Predicts Five-Year Breast Cancer Risk from Mammograms

Breast cancer risk assessment during routine screening is difficult because many women who develop the disease have no known genetic mutations or family history. Static risk tools provide limited discrimination... Read more

AI Mammography Tools Detect Early Breast Cancer Signs Years Before Diagnosis

Breast cancer screening aims to detect tumors before symptoms develop, but subtle mammographic changes can appear years before diagnosis and may be missed during routine reads. Delayed detection can lead... Read more

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
