Agfa HealthCare announces that it will present the newest version of its IMPAX for Nuclear Medicine solution at the 2011 Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) in Birmingham, UK. This innovative solution delivers the benefits of integrated care to the nuclear medicine department. The solution's advanced new features focus on usability, workflow and productivity.
Meeting nuclear medicine's evolving challenges
IMPAX for Nuclear Medicine supports the patient's entire exam flow, from order entry to the final distribution of nuclear medicine results. It includes specialized functionalities to process, read and report all nuclear medicine, SPECT, PET, and multi-modality images with just the click of a button, from a single workstation. Images and diagnoses can be shared with referring physicians within or outside the hospital walls.
"At the EANM congress, we will demonstrate how IMPAX for Nuclear Medicine offers clinicians a unique solution that fully integrates the nuclear medicine department's workflow and optimizes inter-departmental communications," comments Erik Gielen, Business Manager Nuclear Medicine EMEA for Agfa HealthCare.
Images and data integrated into a single IT platform
IMPAX for Nuclear Medicine, which is built on one of the most advanced Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), consolidates images and data across a wide range of modalities and departments, integrating them into a single IT platform. The solution delivers increased efficiency to the nuclear medicine department, handling complex scheduling requirements, including comprehensive resource planning and scheduling across multiple departments. It can be integrated[1] with the department's hot lab management solution to digitize and automate preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and registration of radiation dose.
Fully featured nuclear medicine image processing and viewing package
IMPAX for Nuclear Medicine includes Oasis for IMPAX, developed in collaboration with Segami Corporation, which brings an integrated, fully featured nuclear medicine image processing and viewing package to the IMPAX workstation. Clinicians no longer have to switch between workstations, or manually synchronize patient study lists.
