Image Management System has Cardiac Cath Imaging and Reporting Capabilities

A new image management and reporting system is vendor-neutral with standards-based, multi-modality reporting and a single database. The newly introduced Cath module interfaces with patient registration, hemodynamics, and radiographic systems, ensuring a seamless workflow.

Digisonics, Inc. (Houston, TX, USA) presented their new DigiView Cath package for the first time at this year's American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Orlando, FL, USA. DigiView's database allows users to quickly derive valuable departmental statistics for accreditation and research purposes including extraction of ACC NCDR-compliant data sets.

DigiView's flexible tools were designed with the physician in mind. The integrated, touch-sensitive screen and drawing pen allow physicians to quickly identify and label the location of stenosis, stents, and clots on the customizable coronary diagrams. Physicians can use their own preferred coronary artery map, or the system-provided left-dominant and right-dominant maps. Beyond annotation of coronary diagrams, the system also provides quantitative coronary artery analysis with automatic edge detection.

Upon finalization, cardiac cath reports can be automatically transmitted to an integrated electronic medical record/electronic hospital record (EMR/HER), hospital information system (HIS), radiology information system (RIS), and/or PACS system. With DigiNet Pro, users will have fully functional remote access to the complete cardiovascular image management and reporting system, including the new cath capabilities, from virtually anywhere at anytime via the web.

Digisonics developed the first review station, the first fully functional web-based system, and the most configurable multi-modality reporting system. Digisonics image management and reporting systems combine high-performance image analysis, professional reporting, an integrated clinical database, a powerful PACS image archive and systems for remote connectivity into one system.

The Digisonics system is the top ranked Klas- (Orem, UT, USA) ranked cardiology PACS. Klas is an international market research company.
