New project in Poland - medavis launches into mobile diagnostic imaging

Alliance Medical Group is the European market leader in flexible services for mobile diagnostic imaging with more than 500 mobile and local sites. It operates the largest fleet of mobile MRI, PET/CT, X-ray, CT, portable ultrasound and echocardiography scanners in the UK and employs over 400 radiographers. Although based in the UK, Alliance Medical has subsidiary offices in Ireland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland.

The highly flexible application and the modularity of the software convinced Alliance Medical Poland to select medavis, from within a highly competitive environment, for the equipping of diagnostic radiology trucks. As this is the first time medavis radiology software has been used in mobile modalities, it represents a step into a new and future-orientated market segment. The project is due to start in March 2010.

The Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre, University of Cambridge, expands its application of medavis radiology solutions

The Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre (WBIC) is a division of the Department of Clinical Neurosciences of the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1995 as a unique research facility worldwide, the WBIC is dedicated to imaging function in the injured human brain.
 
medavis radiology products have been in successful application in the WBIC since 2006. Since then, the Institute and its co-operating departments have been able to make significant increases in efficiency. Due to this fact, the WBIC decided in 2009 on a further expansion of the application of medavis radiology software.

Both the expansion of the software, as well as the on-site training, were successfully completed by the end of 2009.

A successful MEDICA 2009 for medavis 

MEDICA - World forum of Medicine, 18 – 21 November, Düsseldorf

medavis reflects on a successful Medica 2009. At the 40th anniversary of the world’s largest medical trade fair, medavis presented itself to its specialist audience at a considerably larger booth and exhibited, alongside the complete RIS/PACS portfolio, numerous new functions and modules for fast and efficient radiology processes.

One of the highlights of this year’s Medica was the new direct integration of speech recognition into medavis RIS. Unlike the loose system connections found in many other applications, medavis has directly integrated the speech recognition function into the RIS workflow, resulting in higher productivity and faster procedures.

System-independent solution for DICOM data import

Smooth and safe reading of patient CDs; medavis DICOM Importer Pro combines depth of function and user-friendliness with seamless system integration 

Karlsruhe, 3 November 2009 - Patient CDs are an important tool in the exchange of data between medical institutions. The import of the patient’s previous image data into the local PACS archive provides radiologists with direct access to their patients’ previous examinations, thus avoiding unnecessarily repeated examinations and improving medical care.

The handling of patient CDs is, however, a source of great concern for many physicians. In general, importing the unchanged data at the physician’s PACS workstation does not present a problem, but the operation of the clinic may make it more practical to read the patient’s CDs directly at the reception desk. One risk is that the identification of foreign systems may not be compatible with the software used, making imported images difficult to find or even assigned to another patient by mistake.
