PACS firm Intelerad Medical Systems has inked a technology partnership with Blackford Analysis, a provider of software for comparing medical images.
Under terms of the agreement, Intelerad will incorporate Blackford's MatchedCrosshairs and AutoSync applications into its InteleViewer diagnostic imaging viewer. The two packages will provide InteleViewer users with comparisons of current and prior studies.
MatchedCrosshairs will allow InteleViewer users to click once on a location in any scan to instantly find the same location in multiple scans from different time points and/or different modalities (CT, MRI, or PET), according to Intelerad. AutoSync will give InteleViewer the ability to perform slice synchronization across multiple exams automatically, regardless of differences in acquisition protocol and patient positioning, the company said.
