This upgrade also provides a customized PACS (picture archiving and communications system) for breast imaging facilities and other mammography providers.
Separately, the company's Health Group demonstrated several innovative mammographic applications as works-in-progress solutions, mainly the Image scanning at 50 microns with specialized screens and cassettes, designed to improve the quality of mammography images captured on KODAK DIRECTVIEW CR 850/CR 950 computed radiography systems.
The new KODAK DIRECTVIEW PACS System 5 Mammography Upgrade provides efficient image review and storage for full-field digital mammography (FFDM) systems, ultrasound, MRI and other digital modalities used in mammography.
The new Mammography Upgrade includes the new KODAK DIRECTVIEW Mammography Workstation, which supports imaging modalities from multiple vendors and includes two five-megapixel monitors. The workstation's display protocols can enhance radiologists' productivity, and an ergonomically designed hand controller can help reduce the incidence of repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
"With this upgrade, our healthcare customers can quickly and easily integrate mammography departments and outpatient facilities into their digital imaging workflow," said Pam Benkert, General Manager, Specialty Markets and Vice President, Kodak's Health Group. "Our scalable PACS platform is also ideal for independent imaging centers and other mammography providers that want to implement an affordable, fully featured digital imaging system that can support current and future workflow requirements."
