Carestream Health demonstrated its expanding portfolio of sophisticated medical imaging and healthcare IT systems designed to enhance the diagnostic review of X-ray exams and expedite delivery of results to physicians and their patients at the annual Radiological Society of North America conference.
Radiology service providers want to tap into the expertise of subspecialists at multiple locations, as well as optimize the quality and speed of clinical reporting.
Carestream’s Clinical Collaboration Platform addresses these needs with Workflow Orchestrator software that supports advanced reading workflows and improves the review process by: Simultaneously prioritizing urgent medical imaging exams; routing complex cases to subspecialists or radiologists affiliated with the site where the study was performed; and logically distributing the case load among all available radiologists.
Carestream representatives also showcased the unique benefits of the CARESTREAM OnSight 3D Extremity System that equips hospitals, orthopaedic practices and other imaging services providers with high-resolution 3D images that offer advanced anatomical detail to help orthopaedic specialists make more accurate diagnostic and treatment decisions.
The OnSight system captures high-quality, weight-bearing imaging studies for patients with a wide range of injuries and conditions of the knee, foot, ankle, and other extremities.
Unlike traditional CT technology, Carestream’s system has a large detector that easily captures a 3D image of the extremity in a single rotation. A patient simply places the injured extremity into a donut-shaped bore in the system. Since the patient’s head and body are not confined, patients do not experience the claustrophobia that often occurs with CT systems.
These and other advanced systems from Carestream are available in the United States, Europe and many additional countries around the world.
