Agfa HealthCare said that the new cardiology system will include solutions for adult and pediatric echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and vascular ultrasound. IMPAX Cardiovascular provides diagnosticians with a single point of access for multimodality studies and a longitudinal, consolidated view of patient images and information.
Agfa HealthCare also said that the open standards-based solution provides image acquisition, display, reporting, storage, and distribution management from multiple cardiovascular imaging modalities, including adult and pediatric echocardiography, vascular ultrasound and angiography, cardiac catheterization, nuclear cardiology, cardiac computed tomography, and ECG.
Paul Peabody, chief information officer of Beaumont, said: “The Agfa HealthCare IMPAX Cardiovascular system will help support echocardiogram and vascular studies at our hospital, including on-site and remote display of clinical images. The system is integrated with the electronic medical records system used throughout Beaumont’s patient care network and we plan to implement and integrate the cardiac catheterization module in the future.”
