  • Radiology: This Is Enterprise Imaging

    Momentum. You feel it when you’ve got it. And when it lags, you’re pushing harder to regain your stride.

That vision is now a clinically proven reality as one platform unites eye care with other imaging exams across a large, U.S.-based healthcare system. Ophthalmologists and optometrists praise the solution for proving its value in eye disease diagnostics, care planning and patient outcomes—and now other healthcare systems can take advantage of it too.

  • The Path to Digital Pathology: IT-enabling Image and Report Access across the Enterprise

    A vision starts with a need, quickly followed by a question—how can we accomplish it? At Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York, the vision to initiate digital pathology coupled with fully integrating radiology and digital pathology images in one enterprise imaging (EI) system started seven years ago.

All of this is fueled, of course, by the never-ending disputes over guidelines issued by numerous authoritative groups.
