Highly acclaimed PACS offering extends beyond the traditional boundaries of
PACS and includes expanded functionality via the new Imaging Dashboard(TM),
Vision Watch(TM) and Lightbeam(TM) Web-based workstation
CHICAGO, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMICAS, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMCS), a
leader in radiology and medical image and information management solutions,
will be showcasing its comprehensive suite of imaging IT solutions at this
year's Radiological Society of North America annual meeting, held at McCormick
Place in Chicago from November 27 through December 2, 2005.
The AMICAS Vision Series(TM) led by the Vision Series(TM) PACS provides an
impressive showing of dedicated imaging IT products. AMICAS will showcase
Vision Series(TM) PACS version 4.1, the latest iteration of the critically
acclaimed product, highlighting its broad functionality and unique
applications that extend the traditional boundaries of the definition of a
PACS. Key additional PACS applications on display at RSNA include:
-- AMICAS Imaging Dashboard(TM) -- Embedded within the Vision Series(TM)
PACS, the Imaging Dashboard(TM) is a fully real time, customizable,
digital dashboard that provides complete visualization of all
patients, images and key metrics of an imaging facility's operations.
-- AMICAS RealTime Worklist(TM) -- The Imaging Dashboard(TM) becomes the
industries only true RealTime Worklist(TM) when combined with the
AMICAS Lightbeam(TM) workstation supporting unparalleled radiologist
productivity.
-- AMICAS Vision Watch(TM) -- This 24/7 monitoring tool is designed with
the imaging business in mind -- providing real-time metrics, not just
on system performance, but also on process performance. See, at a
glance, staff productivity trends, study bottlenecks, and areas of
potential improvement; know when system performance is at risk,
understand bandwidth usage and storage space, and be alerted to
exceptional events. Visibility over key business metrics and the
opportunity to maximize practice productivity has never been better.
"What sets the Vision Series PACS apart is its combination of tremendous
technology as a Web-based PACS, and its embedded applications such as, the
Imaging Dashboard and Vision Watch which both provide tremendous benefits to
imaging organizations. These types of embedded applications are typically not
found in PACS," said Peter McClennen, president of AMICAS.
The AMICAS Lightbeam(TM) Web-based workstation will be featured;
showcasing the AMICAS Enhanced User Experience, its Advanced Capabilities with
spine labeling, embedded 3D & Voice Clips and its' robust Integration Platform
demonstrating tight connectivity to Dictaphone's Powerscribe for radiologist
reporting and TeraRecon, Inc.'s AquarisNet(TM) for 3D & 4D Web-based imaging
applications.
"We've taken tremendous time to understand the radiologists' reading
needs," noted Kang Wang, PhD, vice president of R&D at AMICAS. "The resulting
usability we like to refer to as the Enhanced User Experience ... a PACS
workstation technology that is very intuitive, very easy to learn, fast to use
and fully integrated with associated applications." With the Lightbeam(TM)
workstation all required tools are immediately available in a tightly
integrated application using the latest Web-based technologies. "Since a
radiologist may use a PACS system for up to ten hours per day, usability and
integration are key issues to the AMICAS development process," added Dr. Wang.

-- Vision Series(TM) RIS, a fully Web-based RIS designed specifically for
ambulatory imaging centers will display its depth of functionally and
embedded reporting capabilities. This product is ranked #1 in KLAS
