Powering a Radiology Network Using Thin Client 3D PACS
Karoline Laarmann reports; european-hospital.com
To meet the high demands of today’s radiological environment, a PACS must provide far more than archiving, controlling and distribution of electronic data. Post processing and upgradable network structuring capabilities are just as important to guarantee efficient workflow. The Visage Thin Client looks like a smart solution indeed.

KLAS finds that hospitals and clinics are now major teleradiology clients, holding some 40 percent of contracts with teleradiology vendors. The client for teleradiology is shifting according to new research from independent healthcare technology research firm KLAS. Teleradiology contracts have been held historically by local radiology groups; however, in a newly published report, KLAS found that hospitals and clinics now hold close to 40 percent of teleradiology contracts.

Though global warming may remain a popular topic of debate, its damage to a major coral species in the Red Sea is clear to a group of U.S. researchers, thanks to CT. By adapting 3D CT techniques to examine Diploastrea heliopora, they found that growth of the coral has declined by 30% since 1998. Growth of the coral could cease altogether by 2070 if sea surface warming trends continue, according to the research from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) of Woods Hole, MA, published in Science (July 16, 2010, Vol. 329:5989, pp. 322-325).

The road to PACS perfection is paved with distractions and pitfalls, Paul Chang, MD, FSIIM, says. Chang is professor of radiology, vice chair of radiology informatics, and medical director of enterprise imaging at University of Chicago Medical Center in Illinois. During the 2010 Dwyer Lecture, “The Role of Imaging Informatics in the Next Generation of EMR/EHR,” presented June 4, 2010, at the meeting of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Chang used the experiences of other industries to debunk common PACS myths—and to illuminate next-generation requirements for imaging.
