Centricity PACS-IW offers radiologists the most advanced, truly Web-based architecture available. While a general practitioner’s primary tool is a stethoscope and a surgeon’s tool is a scalpel, as a radiologist, your tool of choice is undoubtedly PACS. Your diagnostic workstation is the virtual tool bench from which you craft your art, providing the ultimate in patient care. With all of the dozens of potential solutions at your disposal, you understand that no two solutions are created equal and no two features are implemented the same. Patient care cannot afford to be compromised, and you cannot afford to compromise or settle on your diagnostic workstation. Lesser workstations not only are feature-depleted, but they also slow down interpretation, impede workflow and increase the number of daily interruptions which can really bear down on a radiology practice in the smallest or most complex of environments.

Dynamic Imaging Centricity PACS-IW Workstation

Centricity PACS-IW offers radiologists the most comprehensive portable imaging desktop available, providing the same set of features and integrations whether you’re in your reading room at home, at the imaging center or at the hospital. This equivalent reading environment speeds proficiency and eliminates frustration, which all leads to faster interpretations and ultimate efficiency. Our high scores in KLAS and MD Buyline demonstrate that we listen and service our customers at the top of the industry. We also provide you optimal tools, such as custom page prints and auto-email of results, to best service your customers, the referring physician. Through our partners, we’re able to provide you with tight integration to the best clinical applications in the marketplace. You simply pick those solutions that are the best fit for your practice. Below you will find some additional exciting offerings delivered with Centricity PACS-IW:

Speed, Presentation and Extensive Toolset
Centricity PACS-IW optimizes radiologist’s workflow efficiency through the use of advanced study layouts, multiple presentation states, variable sized asymmetrical windows and ‘copies’ of windows, 2D stack-based reading tools, integrated 3D reconstructions, and integrated voice recognition (dictation). All of these features, to include the overall user interface, are highly customizable to meet their explicit needs and preferences. We also support the use of foot pedals for radiologists to speed through large multi-thousand slice image stacks hands-free.

SmartLoading™ and “The Best” 3D
Due to our exclusive SmartLoading, we are able to deliver complete, JPEG 2000 lossless Web-based images faster than any other vendor. Our customized layouts hang the study, with comparisons, explicitly how the radiologist expects to interpret the study. Then, once the study is loaded, the radiologist (or clinical user with proper privileges) can perform the most extensive embedded 3D reconstruction in the industry, including MIP, MPR (standard, spine, oblique, curved, cross curved, and endoscopic), and Color Volume Rendering (segmentation and targeted review). All of these reconstructions can include slab enhancement, and can all be saved back in a single-click to the original study.

Exclusive Tools
Some additional features that we know will be of interest to radiologists are highly customizable patient jackets to reflect exactly how you would like to structure interpretation workflow, PET/CT fusion, slab scrolling, flexible tri-level notes, spine labeling, true size, and orthopedic templating.

Anywhere, Everywhere the Same and More
And of course, because we’re Web-based, wherever you log onto the system, you will always get the same patient jacket and workstation tools that are tied to your logon. Centricity PACS-IW’ user interface is consistently applied across every visualization instance of the application – for teleradiology, QC, CD burning, self launching CDs, clinical viewing, and diagnostic workstations. The highly customizable GUI includes visible icons, location of toolbars, hot keys, privilege-based functionality (study layouts, 3D, presentation states, etc.), and personalized workflow, all tied to the user’s logon and available wherever that user logs on, whether on or off site. This consistency truly supports the radiology department/practice without walls - making medical images available electronically any time...wherever needed, whether across the hallway or across the globe. Centricity PACS-IW is also smart enough to automatically “learn” how to best optimize a user’s location, by sensing the type of workstation they are using.
