A healthcare Information Technology vendor and an ultrasound imaging manufacturer have integrated their Cardiovascular Information System (CVIS) and advanced 3-D/4-D ultrasound imaging and strain rate software to improve productivity and streamline the clinical workflow.
The ultrasound image processing tool can now be launched with a single mouse click, while viewing an ultrasound study in the CVIS. The clinical workflow of the two tools has been merged and can be operated from one workstation instead of two. This now enables a clinician to launch the 3 D/4 D tool, perform an analysis of the image and return the image back to the CVIS in one location.
GE Healthcare’s (Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire, UK) EchoPAC ultrasound post-processing and reporting tool, and Digisonics’s (Houston, TX, USA) CVIS solutions can now directly store and retrieve images acquired by GE Healthcare’s Vivid range of ultrasound scanners.
The Digisonics CVIS solution is standards-based and vendor-neutral, and can be used with all cardiovascular modalities. The CVIS combines a Picture Archive and Communications System (PACS) with a clinical database, for high-performance image review. The CVIS conforms to and exceeds US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements for a secure environment with electronic signature, and audit trail capabilities.
The EchoPAC tool can be used to perform image processing, analysis, measurement, and annotation. The tool is also used to generate reports, and for communications. The EchoPAC software is integrated into each Vivid ultrasound system.
Ernest Jackson, chief technology officer Digisonics, said, “Digisonics is very pleased to add the GE EchoPAC application to our best-in-class suite of CVIS interfaces. With EchoPAC, users have the ability to post-process the original RAW data acquired on the ultrasound system, expanding productivity and leveraging the advanced quantitative and multidimensional analysis provided.”
