"We needed to have a single solution provider for our CT and MR imaging needs in lieu of specific workstations for each modality," said Thomas Frauenfelder, MD, deputy director of the
Ziosoft's technology is based on an open standard architecture that can be applied to any DICOM-based imaging modality including CT, MRI, PET and ultrasound. This also allows developers to rapidly take advantage of hardware advances and provide easy access to data across the enterprise regardless of modality.
The hospital recently added Medicsight's, a partner of Ziosoft, ColonCAD API. This technology is designed to assist radiologists during their review of CT colonography (CTC - also known as "Virtual Colonoscopy") images by automatically highlighting potential colorectal polyps (possible precursors to colorectal cancer) on the CT image.
"ColonCAD integrates seamlessly into the Ziostation system's protocols," said Frauenfelder. "All of the system's protocols can be customized for optimization of workflow. With immediate access of eight concurrent users per server throughout our enterprise system, we can access data from multiple modalities which maximizes the continuum of care for every patient."
"We are pleased to partner with this prestigious healthcare provider," said Bart Hendriks, managing director, EMEA, Ziosoft. "We look forward to providing the hospital with additional software advances such as PhyZiodynamic™ solutions, the gateway to 5D functional analytics, as we continue to take advantage of our supercomputing open architecture technology in support of excellence in patient care."
