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.

Guests from clinics and practices, as well as international partners, did not pass up the opportunity to convince themselves of the high performance of medavis’ solutions at first hand. We would like to thank all our visitors from Germany and abroad for their interest and many fascinating conversations and look forward to seeing you all again next year!

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.

medavis fully integrates Nuance speech recognition into the RIS workflow

Deep integration, rather than loosely coupled systems; the speech recognition system integrated into medavis RIS, optimises processes and saves time

Karlsruhe, 29 October 2009 – medavis GmbH, a leading provider of medical information systems will present the medavis RIS with fully integrated speech recognition, using the Nuance SpeechMagicTM software, at MEDICA 2009. The direct integration into the RIS workflow enables radiologists to quickly and efficiently produce reports, via speech recognition technology, in their normal system environment.

Speech recognition technology represents a great aid to radiologists, as it eliminates the time-consuming intermediate steps in the transcription of dictated medical reports. Nevertheless, the speech recognition function in many systems is only loosely coupled to the evaluation process; dictations are recorded in a separate application with its own editor, where the spoken words are converted into text and then transferred back to the RIS.

Hospital Cluster in Saudi Arabia contracts medavis for advanced radiology IT solution

Saudi-Arabia's leading private hospital group "Almana Hospitals" selected medavis to provide sophisticated enterprise radiology IT solutions.

The four hospitals in the cities of Dammam, Al Khobar Jubail and Hofuf, which carry out an expected 350,000 examinations per year, will be equipped with medavis RIS and PACS by the end of this year. The four sites will also introduce medavis Web, the innovative solution for patient management, order placing, scheduling, EPR and cross enterprise workflows. The on-site installation, customisation and training have already been successfully completed at the Almana General Hospital Dammam in September 2009.
