A new version of a web-based HTML5-based zero footprint PACS, that provides faster viewing of large and complex datasets, from various modalities, has been announced.

The 5th generation of the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) includes significant improvements in image display speed, and enhanced and optimized workflows that facilitate collaboration. The new PACS can launch images directly in a browser, without caching the files first, and does not need to download the images to a desktop client beforehand.

The new Fujifilm Europe (Duesseldorf, Germany) Synapse PACS version is also optimized for remote viewing at multiple locations, and uses server-side caching to reduce bandwidth requirements by 50%.

The Synapse PACS is the most installed PACS worldwide and can be used for DICOM and non-DICOM data, in structured and unstructured formats. The Synapse family includes 3D, Mobility, and Vendor Neutral Archives (VNA) solutions, and a Clinical Workflow Manager.

Opey Olorunlero, Synapse Product Manager, Fujifilm, said, “Synapse 5 pushes the boundaries of traditional PACS with its sub-second speed, fresh look, inbuilt data analytics tools and native support for display and processing of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis images. It has the potential to save organizations significant resources through reduced desktop management, as there are no clients to install. The Global Worklist feature provides solutions for federated image and report sharing across any-vendor PACS system.”
