AMICAS has announced its plans to launch its next generation PACS- AMICAS PACS™ Version 6.0 at the 2008 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2008) annual meeting starting on November 30th in Chicago, IL. It will be displayed in booth #7128.

AMICAS PACS Version 6.0 introduces intrinsic 3D, sophisticated mammography workflow, advanced personalization and hanging protocols and patient-centric reading to the radiology marketplace. It combines the Web-based design of previous versions of AMICAS PACS with innovations in imaging viewing.

The new PACS have received FDA Approval and are expected to be available in the market by early 2009.
Version 6 combines the leading RealTime Worklist™ with the Halo Viewer™, which includes advances in functionality aimed at increasing radiologist productivity and designed to help improve the quality of reading.

With Version 6.0's intrinsic 3D and mammography workflow tools, radiologists can interpret a wide variety of exam types -- all within a single viewer. These new tools will lead to increased efficiency by allowing radiologists to interpret an increasing percentage of their interpretation workload within their normal workflow, without requiring specialty workstations.

"AMICAS PACS gives me the ability to read all of my exams from one workstation," said Randy Hicks MD, radiologist and owner of Regional Medical Imaging of Flint, MI. "AMICAS has developed a single workstation that has all the mammography workflow, 3D tools, and patient information that I need, which reduces the number of places I have to go to read a case to one."

It is more patient centric because the new patient record contains the present examination reports, prior exams, relevant previous reports and comments. Also the radiologist can personalise their PACS toolset and imaging preferences.

AMICAS PACS Version 6.0 is fully integrated with existing AMICAS solutions, including AMICAS RadStream™, which provides integrated critical results management, and AMICAS Reach™, which provides enhanced referring physician satisfaction.
