CHICAGO, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- This year at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA is announcing its entrance into the advanced visualization space with the introduction of Synapse(TM) 3D*. Fujifilm is building on its core strength in image processing by now offering its own advanced imaging capabilities for both general radiographic and cardiovascular applications. The company has also made other significant enhancements to its Synapse(TM) PACS including the introduction of Synapse communications and new features to further aid the interpretation of breast imaging studies.
“With Fujifilm’s history of innovative image processing and analysis, it’s a natural extension for us to draw on our strength and provide our own advanced visualization technology,” explained Jim Morgan, Fujifilm’s Executive Director of Marketing, Medical Informatics. “While we have been providing MIP/MPR functionality as well as integrations to third party 3D applications, customers will have the option to select Synapse 3D which will be integrated directly into their Synapse PACS and Synapse Cardiovascular applications, providing the most efficient workflow for all clinicians,” continued Morgan.
“In my evaluation, Synapse 3D has proven to be critical in terms of the diagnostic and outcomes value it provides,” said Dr. Law. “The PET CT Fusion capabilities, in particular, have performed exceptionally well, and we look forward to using the systems in the future. We have also utilized the advanced MR capabilities for processing diffusion and perfusion data of the brain as well as using the calcium scoring tool for a research project investigating the utility of neurovascular calcium scoring for predicting stroke, “continued Law.
Synapse Communications
A comprehensive toolset enabling compliance with American College of Radiology (ACR) and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) industry guidelines, Synapse communications is available as an option to Synapse PACS. It includes a variety of features to enhance communication and help radiology departments and reading groups meet the ever changing business and regulatory requirements of radiology information management. Specific features include critical results reporting, peer review, instant messaging, QA discrepancy tracking and embedded task list management. Synapse Communications is embedded into the Synapse PACS user interface to maximize performance and minimize user clicks.
Breast bound detection and alignment Automatically left-right aligns images with optimum “zoom to breast borders”, as is required for appropriate interpretation. This feature increases workflow efficiency by enabling the radiologist to immediately begin reading the images without having to manually prepare them.
