BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Emageon Inc.
(Nasdaq: EMAG), a leader in enterprise imaging and medical information
technology systems for hospitals, healthcare networks and imaging centers,
announced today new product developments and enhancements to be shown in
its booth # 8508 at the Radiological Society of North America Annual
Meeting in Chicago, Nov. 25-Nov. 29, 2007.
The enclosed summarizes the new developments and proven product
features that can be seen in Chicago:
-- Moving imaging technology to the next generation PACS (Picture Archive
Communication Systems)
Emageon provides enterprise work lists for shared reading and workflow
across sites including study status updates such as "STAT," "Read,"
patient matching across ID domains, and use of key images and
presentation states. This improves remote viewing for referring
physicians from their office, clinic or home, at any time by
providing fast remote visualization with easy-to-use native
visualization tools.
-- Enterprise services beyond Radiology PACS
Emageon's enterprise multi-specialty suites provide physicians with
world-class viewing of images and notes, annotations and key images --
regardless of specialty, whether to Radiology or to Orthopedics,
Mammography, Neurology, Surgery or Cardiology.
-- Image sharing between multiple PACS, "vendor neutral" or "PACS
neutral" archiving
Emageon enables physicians to handle multiple PACS in their system and
share images between multiple facilities with different PACS. Imaging
professionals can centralize their archive, taking the "Archive" out of
PACS (P_CS) with Emageon's cost-effective, pure DICOM solution.
-- Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)
Emageon's Service Partner Certification Program lowers the costs of
hardware and software support.
-- Increased peace of mind
Emageon's Replicated Content Management, off-site disaster recovery
solutions, and proven data migrations gives physicians peace of mind
that their imaging data and associated medical content is protected and
available.
-- Replacement or expansion from departmental to enterprise PACS
Emageon offers medical facilities the scale and scope to grow their
imaging service with confidence, regardless of the number of studies
and users, from a single user all the way up to major teaching
institutions and the nation's largest multi-hospital systems.
-- First PACS purchase with RadSuite Express(TM)
For facilities going "filmless" for the first time or small to mid-size
hospitals, clinics or imaging centers looking for affordable world-
class PACS performance and native 3D features that handles large multi-
slice CTs, Emageon's RadSuite Express(TM) is an optimal choice,
offering affordability without compromising performance.
-- Expansion of Radiology reading services
Emageon enables physicians to efficiently read and manage studies from
multiple sources with RadSuite Express(TM) or RadSuite(TM) Premium.
"These most recent product updates represent scheduled upgrades to our
product roadmap as well as customized development by our engineering team
in response to customer requests," said Emageon's COO, Grady Floyd.
"Emageon prides itself in providing value to its customers and being
responsive to their on-going needs and suggestions for better patient care
and service to physicians. We invite industry professionals to see these
and other products demonstrated at RSNA this year."
