CARESTREAM PACS 3D Functionality is an advanced 3-D processing tools embedded in the diagnostic viewing application leverage display protocols to pre-process studies and set up appropriate comparative environments with relevant priors. Current and prior studies can be displayed side-byside, and 3-D tools can be applied to both.  It eliminates specialized 3-D workstations which offers significant benefits in reduced reading time and streamlined workflow. It also eliminates data transmission and storage requirements associated with multiple workstation procedures.
