Rose reported that the radiology staff elected to upgrade the Carestream PACS platform "because it combines advanced functionality with ease of use." She added that "Carestream offers a continuous pipeline of innovative capabilities so we can easily add advanced features based on the needs of our physicians and patients."

The hospital also has a CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution DR Room where staff can perform a wide variety of general radiology exams. Two portable imaging systems have been retrofitted with Carestream's DRX detectors to provide immediate image access for all ER, ICU and bedside exams. "We have been very satisfied with the performance of Carestream's imaging and PACS platforms as well as the company's service and support team," she said.

Carestream received FDA clearance for use of its Vue Motion image viewer for clinical reading of medical X-ray exams using iPhone 4s, iPad 2, Galaxy Note® and Galaxy S® III mobile devices.

Carestream Vue PACS offers reading tools such as MPR, MIP, MinIP, volume rendering, tissue definition, vessel tracking and cardiac analysis. An optional embedded lesion management application can simplify the comparison process between different data sets and supports oncology follow-up with bookmarking and tracking of general anatomy over time. A Vue Mammo module equips radiologists to read mammography and general radiology procedures from any vendor on a single platform.
