PACS
Continuously increasing electronic image and information volumes and projected growth in imaging procedures require effective management of data, both for orthopaedic departments in hospitals and private practices. Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are becoming indispensable when it comes to digital management of images and related data. With more than 900 Impax™ PACS installations worldwide, Agfa is a global leader in PACS.
In hospitals, the Impax network brings all images and information to the sugeons' fingertips, when and where they want it. With their OT3000 workstation, they have access to images from any modality and to patient history through previous, archived studies. They can perform multi-modality image comparisons and dispose of a system to provide colleagues and referring physicians with up-to-the minute information. Images can be retrieved and viewed at integrated sites simultaneously.
Private orthopaedic practices can invest in a cost-effective and reliable solution that is scaled for their volume of procedures, while enjoying all benefits of IMPAX.
Agfa's PACS solutions integrate with any modality type and offer financial and efficiency benefits. Considerable savings can be made on film and film-related expenses, such as chemistry and film jackets. Efficient storage and retrieval of images reduce stress and help save time for clerical staff. Moreover, images are always available and don't get lost.
