The Medical Park Group (Istanbul, Turkey) has concluded a five-year PACS/RIS replacement project for all 30 hospitals in the group.

The PACS system selected is the FujiFilm Europe (Duesseldorf, Germany) Synapse PACS and positions FujiFilm as the most widely used medical informatics vendor and global leader among PACS vendors.

The Synapse PACS provides radiologists with advanced visualization tools to assist radiologists, surgeons, and clinicians with diagnosis, pre-operative planning, and clinical decision support. The Synapse PACS Clinical Workflow Manager (CWM) is intended to enhance access to patient data, and improves the efficiency of the clinical reporting workflow. The Synapse PACS enables the archiving and distribution of image information from all modalities, uses next-generation Web technology, and Wavelet on-demand compression.

Yuksel Yazici, deputy director of the Biomedical Department at the Medical Park Group, said, “This supports us in our mission to provide qualified healthcare services to our international patients.”

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
