In advanced visualization developments, Philips has added multiplanar reformatting, maximum intensity projection, and 3D surface-volume rendering in the latest release of its iSite PACS offering. The tools are delivered to the PACS workstation via the company's iSyntax technology.
Philips also will spotlight iSite Volume Vision for iSite PACS, which enables all caregivers within an enterprise to access a high-speed 3D advanced visualization toolset via iSite PACS, according to the firm. The latest iSite PACS also includes enhanced mammography reading capabilities, added via a specialized set of tools for screening and reading of mammography exams, Philips said.
In addition, the company will showcase release 2.2 of its Xcelera multimodality cardiology image management system. Xcelera R2.2 organizes and provides access to images and data from key cardiology subspecialties and includes a range of advanced quantification applications on a common workspace, according to the firm.
In other news, Philips executives will also point to the firm's PACS replacement strategy for legacy systems. Designed to provide customers with a predictable cost and a phased approach to PACS migration, the program utilizes a service delivery model to provide new PACS customers with offsite disaster recovery, service, and 24/7/365 support; enterprise advanced visualization functionality; and unlimited licensing for iSite Enterprise and iSite Radiology workstations, Philips said.
Philips also will preview its upcoming MammoDiagnost VU mammography workstation as a work-in-progress. The workstation features the ability to automatically align the left and right breast images for radiologists, making it easier to inspect and compare images, according to the vendor.
