The Candelis Radiology Workflow Solution
Learn how our technologies can increase the speed of reading more patient images, optimizing your radiology workflow and storage requirements. Get fully integrated radiology workflow software that improves patient outcomes and enhances the diagnosis experience.
Overview
While today’s medical environment offers many technological advances in terms of screening and diagnosis, facilities still encounter the problem that there are too many different vendors with their own proprietary software which does not communicate well with other third-party systems.
Candelis’s ImageGrid solution offers a cost-effective PACS that optimizes radiology image storage, review and communication. Effective radiology workflow management is crucial for streamlined systems that simplify radiology imaging software, leaving more time to focus on patient care. ImageGrid streamlines facility workflow and often acts as a robust data router, providing a uniform platform where all the medical images can easily flow between different providers. As a fully integrated storage and server solution, ImageGrid provides RAID archiving capacity ranging from one terabyte (TB) to hundreds of terabytes in raw capacity and is easily and cost-effectively expandable.
Facilities that receive outside images from multiple destinations need an efficient radiology image storage system that can consolidate all patient studies from all modalities on a single archive/platform.
ImageGrid brings effective image storage solutions in radiology, with the versatility and flexibility to match any workflow system. With ImageGrid, any facility – be it a small imaging center, a community health center or a large hospital, can consolidate all patient imaging content from all departments into one repository, fully integrate with existing EMRs or EHRs, and eliminate dependencies on outdated PACS architecture, allowing for more workplace efficiency and better patient care.
Diagnostic General Radiology PACS Viewer
Candelis offers several FDA 510(k) Cleared visualization solutions which are tightly integrated with our Image Management and Workflow Optimizations solutions. ImageView provides a powerful visualization tool for any radiology department.
As an application residing on the ImageGrid platform, radiologists are able to view studies using ImageView from any workstation on the local LAN or WAN or a remote workstation. ImageView also enables imaging facilities to securely share medical data and images with their network of referring physicians and other remote users.
General Radiology PACS Server
Candelis PACS radiology software makes it easier to store and view patient medical images in an economical and shareable way with expandable cloud storage. PACS in radiology presents an economical teleradiology solution, with simple integrations and a seamless setup. ImageGrid is a fully integrated image management and workflow-optimized PACS solution, consisting of a suite of sophisticated image archiving, image management, visualization tools and workflow optimization capabilities closely integrated with state-of-the-art hardware.
In multi-physician or multi-location environments, ImageGrid's archive can be partitioned for multiple AE titles. This feature allows multiple physicians or multiple locations to use the same ImageGrid system while keeping their respective data completely segregated. Get an effective PACS system that allows you to safely store and distribute data for workflow speed that lessens patient waiting times and improves outcomes.
Other feature highlights include:
- Image management and workflow optimized PACS solution
- Scalable deep archive
- Optimized to handle hundreds of millions of images
- Flexible Backup Options
- Robust DICOM routing engine, providing rule-based automated routing and manual push/pull
- Automated rule-based pre/post-fetching of relevant priors
- Multiple AE titles on system for archive partitioning
- Accepts and manages studies from other vendors
- Proxy service for remote DICOM Query/Retrieve
- DICOM Tag Morphing tools
- Inbound and outbound HL7 integrations with other vendors (RIS/HIS/EMR/PACS)
- PIX broker support for Master Patient Index infrastructure
