Main advantages of going digital



INTEGRATE

Your hospital has an existing hospital information system (HIS)? Our specialists can efficiently integrate both, iQ-SYSTEM PACS and iQ-RIS with most HIS or EMR available on the market, even if the HIS is not HL7 compliant. The interface needed can easily be created between the HIS, all your modalities and all users in your department. A full HIS-RIS-PACS integration offers data consistency, prevents typing mistakes and optimizes your information workflow.



SCHEDULE

iQ-RIS can receive requests for imaging studies from the HIS. Using this program, you can smoothly manage your appointments and keep your patient records permanently up-to-date. iQ-WORKLIST, our DICOM worklist broker, transmits all relevant patient data to any imaging device ensuring data consistency and accelerating the imaging workflow.



ACQUIRE

Digital imaging does not need chemistry, dark-rooms, waste disposals and ventilation systems. Hence, you can finally get rid of toxic developing procedures. Acquiring the images digitally is significantly faster than the old-fashioned procedure, enabling you to make the most of your modalities and to maximize your patient flow.



READ

IMAGE DISPLAYS are high-resolution diagnostic monitors, displaying the whole range of gray shades in 12bit as acquired on most modalities. iQ-VIEW PRO includes a handy and customizable Hanging Protocol tool for automatically displaying imaging studies in an optimized view. Using those sequences, you can switch between different views to display the same study (hanging protocol sequences). iQ-SYSTEM PACS can manage virtually all modalities in just one system, e.g. all radiology devices and endoscopic, other clinical images, and even microscopic images.



POSTPROCESS

A configurable toolbar in the viewer allows the easy selection of commonly used tools (e.g. zooming, measuring) needed for processing images. Workstation integrated postprocessing, e.g. for 3D reconstructions presents more independence and flexibility to reading physicians.

Main advantages of going digital



ACCESS

By using DICOMReader PRO, it is easily possible to read-in digital image data from virtually any external imaging center into iQ-SYSTEM PACS (or even any other vendor) and to match it with internal patient folders.



PREPARE

As one of the few reading stations worldwide, our iQ-VIEW offers presentation states. A presentation state is the DICOM compliant way to save image annotations or other processing views as a layer on the original image data. This way, your specific reading views may become available in the PACS, for example as a preparation for case discussions.



COPY

iQ-ROBOT is a simple and affordable solution to automatically create CDs/ DVDs containing medical studies and reports from the local network. Another option is to print directly from a modality on regular paper in high quality using iQ-PRINT.



SHARE

iQ-WEBX provides access to all medical data (e.g. images and reports) to an unlimited number of referring or requesting physicians from any computer within your hospital and even from outside via secured web if desired. Additionally, those imaging studies can be sent to referring physicians via email. By implementing teleradiology systems (e.g. with iQ-WEBX), you may read images from other breast care centers located anywhere in the world and you may even receive studies on your notebook. This saves time and resources that are normally needed for transporting images to other specialists or colleagues. Furthermore, up-to-date healthcare for remote regions is ensured and sub-specializations can be outsourced.
