Carestream Shows New Capabilities for Cardio PACS at ECR

GENEVA, Switz., February 16 — Carestream will demonstrate new features for its Vue Cardio PACS that include a new dashboard as well as improved image viewing, reporting and analytics functionality at the 2015 European Congress of Radiology. The latest version of Vue Cardio PACS will be available in the second quarter of 2015. Existing Vue Cardio PACS users can upgrade their systems with these features.

The latest Vue Cardio PACS platform offers a new patient-centric dashboard that provides immediate access to patient data and procedure history for diagnosis of the current exam. This includes a timeline display of prior exams, quick view of all available documents and reports, an area to enter private notes, and the ability to send a text message or email notification to a physician when a patient has a critical result finding. A clinical information management tool generates outcomes analysis and reports with the ability to build complex search rules, and a new scheduling module provides the ability to schedule procedures directly from the dashboard.

Advanced features for echo and cath viewing include support of Boston Z-scores for paediatric echo reporting, support for Stage 5 and Stage 6 stress echo exams and quantitative coronary analysis for cath exams. Vue Cardio PACS offers an integration with Cedaron for outcomes data collection and database participation and reporting.
