Carestream PACS workstation competes at ISCT

Carestream Health displayed the embedded 3D tools on its Carestream Vue PACS workstation at the annual “Workstation Face-Off,” part of the International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT (ISCT), held June 14, in San Francisco.

Hosted by the ISCT, the “Workstation Face-Off” requires radiologists to process and interpret several CT imaging studies. According to the ISCT, this event is designed “to stretch the capabilities of the workstations to their limits.”

This year, each vendor was asked to present four cases: musculoskeletal; brain CTA (including skull removal); vascular; and liver (including segmentation of the eight Couinaud segments). Three minutes were allowed per case, plus one additional cumulative minute for all the cases combined.

The PACS workstation completed all the cases smoothly and within the prescribed time limits, said Carestream.

Carestream Health used its 3D processing and image analysis tools native to its Vue PACS workstation. Workflow is streamlined since radiologists can read any type of imaging exam from a PACS workstation and do not need to move to dedicated 3D workstations with different user interfaces, tools and log ins. In addition, the Carestream Vue PACS architecture enables 3D and other features to be used on any web-enabled PC or workstation, according to the Rochester, N.Y. provider of medical imaging systems and healthcare IT.
