RSNA: Intelerad to demonstrate upgraded IntelePACS, Mammo viewer

PACS devleoper Intelerad Medical Systems (Booth #6251) will preview its latest IntelePACS enhancements and new modules at the 2009 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

Intelerad also will showcase its integrated Mammo Viewer, which includes functionalities such as user specific viewing sequences and tools for radiologists who wish to read from a single, multi-modality viewer.

The Montreal-based company said its IntelePACS upgrades include:
  • A function that allows radiologists to choose how to report each study (e.g., using digital dictation,  voice recognition software or self-transcribed reports using templates).
  • A master patient index capability to facilitate the identification of a patient’s imaging studies, even when stored in disparate PACS that use unrelated medical record numbers.
  • The acquisition traffic controller console; a tool that facilitates the process of receiving studies from external PACS, validating the integrity of the data and assigning studies to reading groups or radiologists.
  • New functionality and features within Intelerad’s reporting worklist such as being able to sort and filter by assigned priority levels, reading group and patient age and incorporating the concept of a “due in” time to help radiology practices meet the terms of their service-level agreements.
