GE Healthcare launches Centricity PACS suite in Asia

2 March 2009

GE Healthcare, has launched a suite of Centricity systems targeted for hospitals and outpatient imaging centres in Asia. Building on Centricity's business process and advanced clinical capabilities, the suite provides the robust Web-based accessibility of IntegradWeb solutions through the acquisition from Dynamic Imaging.

GE Healthcare's Centricity PACS-IW systems for hospitals offer web-based portability, instantaneous image reporting and scalable business processes. This single-desktop solution will drive practice efficiency, productivity for the radiologist and immediate results access for the referring physician by fostering a more collaborative approach to patient care and provider partnerships, thus driving better patient care and business practices in an increasingly competitive market.

Centricity PACS IW allows the radiologist to view images on any PC with regular monitors but for diagnosis purposes, GE recommends Barco's Coronis 6MP monitors due to their impressive image quality, accuracy offering two screens together with equal luminance, automatic calibration and broad usability.

GE also launched the Centricity PACS Web Diagnostic (WebDX), a new Web-based diagnostic viewer that is tightly integrated to Centricity RIS/ PACS, which bring comprehensive detailed patient history to a single patient folder. The new Web Diagnostic solution uses the powerful engine from PACS IW.

Building on existing enterprise connectivity and comprehensive infrastructure of Centricity PACS, it provides an enterprise-wide archive, using EMC storage technology, for access to any type of image in one platform. Centricity PACS integrates with RIS and EMR solutions.

Radiologists and specialists can quickly access powerful clinical tool sets, such as advanced visualization and mammography, from virtually any location. Historically, these tool sets were only available on dedicated workstation, decreasing the radiologists' productivity and limiting the radiologists' mobility. Centricity PACS WebDx allows the radiologist to view images on any PC with regular monitors, but for diagnosis GE recommends the use of specialist monitors.

"For optimal patient care, images and their related clinical information need to be available anywhere, at anytime," said Don Woodlock, Vice President and General Manager, GE Healthcare Information Technology (IT). "These Web- based solutions will provide hospitals and outpatient imaging centres with streamlined workflow inside and outside of their walls. Better yet, referring physicians throughout the community will be serviced with simple, yet powerful access to imaging results."

"Centricity PACS-IW is a one-stop destination that will take medical imaging to new heights of clinical productivity and collaboration without boundaries," said Clarence Wu, VP and Asia Pacific GM, GE Healthcare IT Solutions. "This powerful web-based portable solution, uses state-of-the-art EMC storage technology, connects caregivers across healthcare via internet anytime anywhere, allowing them to see more clearly, know more fully and share more widely."
