Agfa HealthCare launched its Impax for Orthopedics commercially at this week's Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) meeting in Vancouver. The new offering integrates mediCAD, the orthopaedic surgical planning software from Hectec of Altfraunhofen, Germany, into Agfa's Impax OT3000 orthopaedic workstation, providing for all major aspects of orthopedic surgical planning, according to Mortsel, Belgium-based Agfa.
Impax ES is an open-system orthopedic workstation capable of importing, displaying and archiving DICOM images. It offers a library of 12,000 templates from 42 manufacturers including hip, knee, elbow, hand, shoulder, osteotomy, pediatric, screws and nails templates, and includes workflow tools for hip replacement, knee replacement, biometry, osteotomy and coxometry.
The workstation provides a unified user interface to provide a single entry point to images, following open standards to allow JPG, BMP, TIF formats to be imported. Impax ES is also capable of distributing planning results to the enterprise for remote viewing, according to the vendor.
