Visualization System Integrates into Existing Workflow

A server/thin client advanced visualization system's architecture has been designed to smoothly integrate with existing workflow and allow for a greater level of performance and productivity throughout the enterprise.

Visage Imaging, Inc. (Andover, MA, USA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pro Medicus, Ltd. (Richmond, VIC, Australia), has installed their Visage CS thin client enterprise solution with the University of Chicago (IL, USA) to meet an evolving demand for powerful workflow improvement.

"There are three important requirements that I consider when evaluating an enterprise server/thin client advanced visualization solution: (1) performance/scalability, (2) fully featured functionality, and (3) seamless integration into existing PACS [picture archiving and communications system] workflow and applications. Visage addresses these requirements impressively,” stated Paul J. Chang M.D., medical director, enterprise imaging; medical director, SOA Infrastructure, University of Chicago Hospitals as well as professor and vice-chairman, radiology informatics, medical director, pathology informatics, University of Chicago School of Medicine.

"Visage is an impressive turnkey solution to our 3D [three-dimensional] needs. The system will scale with our growing requirements, performs beyond my expectations, and integration was seamless. The implementation team worked with my group every step of the way to ensure a timely and smooth implementation,” stated Peter Nanos, assistant director, radiology informatics, Chicago BioMedical Information Services, University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) and Biological Sciences.

"Visage is delighted to have the University of Chicago as our customer and we are committed to supporting and providing state-of-the-art technology necessary to their continued success,” stated David Chambers, CEO of Visage Imaging. "Visage Imaging provides superior integrated clinical applications to meet UCMC's current requirements, and a clear commitment to evolving its tools and applications to meet customer needs. The Visage CS solution has a strong focus on radiology and it also goes one step further to provide surgeons, neurologists, and other referring physicians efficient access to original 3D data, enabling them to perform their own reformations and post processing in and beyond the radiology department. The unique aspects of the Visage CS architecture also provides for seamless and transparent scalability as the internal requirements change and grow.”
