efficiencies through integration of diagnostic imaging modules
ECR (booth # 212-213) / Vienna, Austria - March 07, 2008 -
10:00 CET
Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of IT-enabled clinical
workflow and diagnostic imaging solutions, announces today that it is launching
six IMPAX(TM) Suites at the ECR 2008 exhibition, which will take place in
Vienna, Austria, from 07th until 11th March. The Suites, ranging from
enterprise solutions for multi-site healthcare facilities, to specialized
mammography, cardiovascular, radiology and orthopaedic systems, are designed to
provide facilities and clinicians with more focused solutions for their
diagnostic imaging needs.
Agfa HealthCare's IMPAX Suites are an integration of several
modules into one, each designed to support specific enterprise or departmental
activities and to meet very specific clinical needs. All suites offer the latest
Agfa HealthCare PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) and RIS
(Radiology Information System) and are delivered with state-of-the-art clinical
and administrative applications, designed for the specific environments in which
they will operate.
The introduction of the IMPAX Suites is based on input and
feedback from Agfa HealthCare's customers. A clear demand for more focused
and tailored PACS solutions was considered to be of great importance. Meeting
this growing demand, Agfa HealthCare offers six Suites in a modular format,
powered by the company's leading IMPAX 6 solution.
All six suites are readily available from Agfa
HealthCare:
- IMPAX Enterprise Suite, created for the multi-site healthcare
enterprise and Integrated Healthcare Delivery Networks (IHDN) operating in
multi-patient ID domains;
- IMPAX Hospital Suite, developed for
the hospital that needs to integrate multiple specialties and disciplines;
- IMPAX Radiology Suite, a solution that focuses on the
self-sufficient radiology department;
- IMPAX Cardiovascular
Suite, a Suite that focuses on the specific needs of the multi-modality
cardiology department;
- IMPAX Orthopaedics Suite, dedicated to
the orthopaedic requirements - like planning, measuring and simulating - in a
digital imaging environment; and
- IMPAX Mammography Suite, a
Suite that solves the imaging, workflow and reporting needs of diagnostic and
screening mammography.
To effectively support the specific departmental needs, Agfa
HealthCare offers its IMPAX Suites with new clinical applications and
server-based 3D-tools (Maximum Intensity Projection or MIP, Multi-Planner
Reformat or MPR and Volume 3D) that help increase the workflow-supported
productivity of radiologists and clinicians alike. Fully focused on
productivity and enterprise workflow, highly automated, intuitive and
productive, Agfa HealthCare offers its clinical applications in a fully
harmonized IMPAX environment.
"Following the successful introduction of our IMPAX Suites at
RSNA last year, Agfa HealthCare is now ready to launch its solutions on the
European market. As one of the key developers of PACS solutions in the
early 1990's, Agfa HealthCare has made a number of giant leaps in technological
advancements, to the benefit of clinicians and their patients. Combining
these technologies into a comfortable, ready-made package will only bring
benefit to our customers, who are increasingly facing higher pressures in their
daily work," states Erkan Akyuz, Agfa HealthCare's Chief Technology
Officer. "With over 1700 IMPAX clients worldwide today, we continue to
play a leading role with regards to improving the medical workflow and
efficiency and the Suites clearly take Agfa HealthCare and its customers to the
next level."
