Web-Based PACS Features Streaming and Cloud Capabilities

Posted on 17 Dec 2012

A new web-based picture archiving and communications system (PACS) provides sophisticated streaming technology that retrieves images much faster than current technologies.

Attendees at this year’s Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, held November 2012 in Chicago (IL, USA), saw the advantages of EvoView Ultima, Del Medical’s (Harrison, NY, USA) latest addition to their PACS range of products. EvoView Ultima PACS are feature-rich, web-based, and cloud-enabled for on-site hospital and busy clinic environments. A novel feature of Ultima PACS is the ability to retrieve images up to 10 times faster than other leading PACS systems currently available. “By using the latest in streaming technology, access to patient images has never been faster or easier,” said Marc Lorenzo, vice president of digital imaging for Del Medical.

In addition to the traditional set of image enhancement tools common to other PACS product range, EvoView Ultima PACS Systems feature customizable reading protocols, MPR/three-dimensional (3D) visualization, reporting and more. EvoView Ultima PACS also utilizes a Smart Fetch technology allowing it to load images of interest while other images download in the background. “Having features such as these right out of the box and at an affordable price point makes EvoView Ultima PACS very attractive to a broad sector of the healthcare imaging community,” Mr. Lorenzo added.

EvoView Ultima PACS can be tailored to the requirements of a facility or can be chosen from two standard configurations: EvoView Ultima PACS Lite, suitable for imaging centers or clinics with medium imaging volume, and EvoView Ultima PACS Plus, which is well suited for higher volume and more challenging imaging setting. Each system offers users’ fast web-based diagnostic access, CD/DVD burning, scanning, printing, and reporting from any workstation or terminal. The server-side of Ultima PACS solutions automates function such as image and report distribution, HL7 [Health Level 7] integration, and long-term storage archiving.

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).

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)$
