Carestream debuts new PACS viewer
Carestream Health showcased a new works-in-progress viewer for its PACS workstation at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) this week in Vienna, Austria. The viewer was demonstrated as part of the company's next-generation RIS/PACS platform, also a work in progress, which is scheduled to be available worldwide in the second quarter of 2009.
This enhancement, which is part of the company's next generation of PACS, provides automatic registration and volumetric matching of 3D studies created at different times and by different modalities directly within the viewer used by radiologists, according to the firm.
Radiologists will be able to directly and dynamically view image data in different planes without switching to other applications or workstations. Automatic registration among differing studies will allow radiologists to manipulate one data set in any spatial plane and the other data sets will automatically follow, according to Carestream.
