RIS/PACS company ClearCanvas announced it has released two new workstations for image sharing.
ClearCanvas ShareAgent is a routing application that allows healthcare professionals to transfer medical images to any DICOM-enabled device, while ClearCanvas ShareStation is a mini-PACS package. Both products are based on ClearCanvas' workstation development platform and operate on standard off-the-shelf computer hardware, according to the firm.
ClearCanvas ShareAgent combines the capabilities of a basic diagnostic workstation with routing capabilities normally found in a complete PACS. It is designed for imaging centers where diagnostic images are captured at one facility but are reported or archived at another. It can also be implemented as a basic quality assurance workstation for technologists and radiologists to review patient studies before they are sent for reporting.
ClearCanvas ShareStation is a complete mini-PACS designed for medical imaging facilities that perform fewer than 5,000 studies per year. It offers diagnostic features such as multiplanar reformatting, hanging protocols, PET/CT image fusion with standardized uptake value, media burning, spine labeling, digital subtraction imaging, and ClearCanvas' Easel function, which automatically loads relevant priors for each patient study, ClearCanvas said.
