Merge eMed continues its innovation with the first PACS workstation
ported to a 64-bit environment. The 64-Bit Edition of FUSION Matrix PACS
enables radiologists to easily load and manipulate studies regardless of
size. With this innovative solution, comparison is possible with as many
priors as needed. Performance testing has supported loading more than
10,000 studies simultaneously without any erosion of workstation
performance. The power of 64-bit far surpasses existing limits on memory
usage. When combined with the FUSION RIS, users gain full clinical and
business workflow that can substantially accelerate productivity.
"Merge eMed has led the way with RIS/PACS/Clinical Applications, and
this 64-Bit Edition leverages our depth of understanding of imaging
workflow," says Robert White, Merge eMed President. "As modalities become
more sophisticated, our customers require efficient and effective solutions
to accommodate their output in ways that accelerate productivity. Our
solution has revolutionized the way large studies such as thin-slice CT and
breast MR studies can be read and compared with priors. It's innovations
like these in our RIS/PACS/Clinical Applications portfolio that
differentiate us from our competitors."
FUSION Matrix PACS is part of the Merge eMed RIS, PACS and Clinical
Applications portfolio. Demonstrations of the entire product portfolio will
be available to SCAR attendees at booth 745, including mammography and PET
CT.
