Kodak will be demonstrating advances with its RIS/PACS program at RSNA 2004.
The Rochester, NY-based vendor said it would be introducing new software at the show to extend the workflow management abilities of its software. The vendor's RIS/PACS allows referring physicians to receive information in several ways. Radiology reports can be e-mailed or embedded into an electronic medical record, and can include key marked images (with the option of viewing the entire study via Web-based access), Kodak said. Referring physicians can also order and schedule radiology exams, as well as view patient status and history.
In other RIS/PACS enhancements, Kodak said it has improved its graphical user interface (GUI) to make it easier to use, more intuitive, and more productive. In addition, exam reporting capabilities have been streamlined to reduce dictation time and delivery speed for final reports, according to the firm. Other enhancements include an advanced report search engine, radiologist-defined display protocols, OrthoView digital orthopedic templates from Meridian Technique of the U.K., and computer-aided detection (CAD) capabilities.
The vendor is also showing a work-in-progress mammography module for its RIS platform, providing mammography-specific reporting and tracking capabilities.
