A new version of an award-winning enterprise imaging platform that supports additional specialties, provides improved collaboration, and offers advanced Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA) capabilities, has been announced.

The platform features new workflow rules, intelligent image and archive management, live-streaming capabilities, ophthalmology and dental imaging workflows, and business Intelligence reports.

The new Enterprise Imaging platform version was announced by Agfa HealthCare (Mortsel, Belgium), and includes workflows for academic, research, teaching, multi-site, and other medical imaging specialties. The platform can be used for virtual conferences using a browser and the universal XERO viewer. Remove viewing and live streaming during surgery and endoscopies, real-time audio, and video consultation are made possible using the Agfa Orpheus system.

A report published in November 2015, by peer60, based on an industry survey including more than 500 healthcare providers, and entitled "Trends in Medical Imaging Technology" selected the Enterprise Imaging platform as the Number 1 Enterprise Imaging solution.

James Jay, VP, Agfa HealthCare Imaging IT solutions, said, "With this latest Enterprise Imaging release, Agfa HealthCare confirms its focus on delivering a highly integrated platform to improve the management and sharing of images across the healthcare enterprise."
