ScImage, Inc., a leading enterprise imaging and information management company, announced today that it has received FDA clearance for primary diagnostic review of mammographic images using its flagship enterprise-wide web-based PACS, PicomEnterprise. Version 3.0 adds functionality to automatically display the images in a format familiar to most radiologists specializing in mammography image interpretation. This includes; default hanging protocols for standard screening exams, automated hanging protocols for prior comparison and linked window/level and pan/zoom functions.
The latest release also boasts a workflow management foundation that combines DICOM and HL7 functionality as part of the core server architecture. This foundation delivers several new productivity-enhancing features that will be showcased at the upcoming Health Information Management Systems Society Annual Exposition (HIMSS 2009) in Orlando, Florida, including voice recognition-based reporting.
Core image and information communication protocols are joined with customizable business rules to create a sophisticated workflow management foundation. This latest innovation utilizes PicomEnterprise’s core web services architecture to establish a foundation for improving operational efficiencies within the department, across multiple facilities and for reading groups with multi-facility contracts. Leveraging this foundation, the newest version features dynamic workflow allocation that enable users to assign studies to specific readers based on location, time of day, sub-specialty, individual backlogs and current workload indexes. Administrators may now also track and manage daily workflow, order backlogs and report turnaround.
“The evolution of the product over the last 12 months allows us to more effectively meet the needs of customers with complex workflow routines. Our new workflow management foundation approach to picture archiving and communication is more precisely meeting the requirements of today’s digital medical imaging workflow practitioner,” stated, Sai P. Raya, Ph.D., ScImage, Inc. Founder & CEO. “This combined with the ability to offer soft copy review of mammography exams for primary interpretation builds on an already robust enterprise-wide, multi-department PACS,” he continued.
