  • 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. In radiology, maintaining momentum is core to keeping radiologists, workflow, decision-making and patient care moving forward. An enterprise imaging solution is the orchestrator that’s making it happen.

    Ophthalmology: This Is Enterprise Imaging

    Enterprise Imaging has a new vision for eye care: Utilizing a single platform to streamline image viewing, analysis and storage and linking ophthalmology with other ‘ologies across the 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.

  • This Is Enterprise Imaging

    First there was PACS: picture archiving and communications systems. Over the last decade, as managing medical imaging has expanded far beyond radiology, enterprise imaging was born. But what is enterprise imaging in its best form?

  • 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. They went live in February—the first U.S. installation of Sectra’s Digital Pathology Solution at the No. 1 orthopedic hospital in the country, 10 years running.

A Telemammography Dynamo Rides New PACS from the Deep South to Boundless Frontiers

Eight years ago, Women’s Imaging Associates in Birmingham, Ala., was a small, well-respected mammography practice serving six OB/GYN offices in its area. Today, having embraced a 100% telemedicine model, its three fulltime breast specialists read images for 22 client facilities scattered around the U.S.—not only OB offices but also outpatient imaging centers and hospitals large and small.

Enterprise PACS packs the punch when it doubles as a VNA too

There is no doubt that vendor neutral archives (VNAs) have gained favor over the last several years in managing medical images. But there is some debate over whether hospitals really need both a VNA and a PACS. If PACS can do double duty as VNA and PACS, why do you need both? As we see it, you don’t, as long as you have a true enterprise PACS and here’s why.

Riverside University Health System springboards from PACS upgrade to EMR collaboration

Nearly two decades ago, the PACS race was on in Southern California’s Inland Empire. The main event pitted the regional medical center, 439-bed Riverside County Regional Medical Center, against the larger 719-bed Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC). In 1998, Riverside won the race by about six months, installing the first PACS in the region and, in the process, becoming the first hospital in the U.S. to select Sectra PACS.
