(Booth 1509) Candelis of Irvine, CA, will demonstrate new features for its ImageGrid RIS, as well as upgrades to its viewing and workstation technology.
New functionality for ImageGrid RIS includes support for multiple procedures to be scheduled simultaneously in multiple facilities using order-based scheduling, comprehensive and detailed patient charting that captures all demographics information and a patient history chart under one form, compatibility with leading transcription pedals and dictaphones that integrate with transcription and radiology workflow, and a customizable system administrator user interface.
The updates also include an authorization feature that captures every field in every form with visibility and editable options, as well as action-enabled customization for every aspect of the system; color-coded and customizable validations of forms and fields; a mammography module added to the RIS that includes mammography tracking, as well as a follow-up letter workflow and tracking; easy-to-manage functional modularity; and printing and patient film tracking capabilities.
As part of its iMed-Stor product, Candelis will offer both AIT3Ex and AIT-5 tape drives that are fully integrated into the iMed-Stor tower chassis, and with the iMed-Stor ILM software module.
In addition, Candelis will introduce its ImageGrid Integrated Radiology and Mammography Workstation, a five-headed thin-client appliance PC specifically designed for radiology and mammography applications.
The ImageGrid technology suite includes the ImageGrid PACS Web Viewer, a Web-based diagnostic viewer for general radiology applications; ImageGrid PACS Mammography Web Viewer for mammography-specific diagnostic study reading; and ImageGrid PACS Referring Physician Viewer designed to accommodate offsite referring physicians via secure Internet connection.
Candelis' ImageGrid RIS/PACS with ImageGrid Integrated Radiology and Mammography Workstation includes RAID 5 archiving with initial raw capacity points of 1.5 to 12.75 terabytes, an embedded database for up to 100 million images, and automatic rule-based and HIPAA-compliant storage.
