Cedara I-Reach™Web-based report and image viewing
|
Overview
Web-Based image viewer Cedara I-Reach facilitates the viewing of diagnostic images over the Internet. High performance and a feature-rich seamless user interface facilitate image distribution throughout the enterprise or remotely.
"Merge OEM's new web viewer advances the current capabilites of our PACS system. We can now distribute patient information and digital images over the internet in a way that is clinically relevant. Technologists can send images to the Emergency Department, hospital inpatient units, and to physician offices via the Internet while doctors working remotely can pull the images needed to expedite the care and treatment of patients."
Michael Plintkas, PACS Engineer at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach, Florida
Key Benefits
Internet-based, remote access enabling image access via easy to use, configurable user preferences
Security authenticates users and logs activities
Adaptive wavelet image compression facilitates high performance display
Report and image access delivers the appropriate information to the relevant location
Centralized deployment and user profile management makes simple administration possible
Universal Image Access
Softcopy reporting should mean that images are available where, when and how you need them. Beyond the needs of radiological reporting, a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) should provide image access to referring physicians, clinicians and other healthcare specialists. Dedicated workstations, while robust in functionality, present some limitations in terms of image access.
Beyond image needs within your institution, PACS solutions also need to accommodate the needs of teleradiology; they should provide a solution for oncall Radiologists, who would like to review images from offsite locations; they should allow physicians at multi-site facilities to view patient images during rounds.
For environments where immediate image access can make the difference between life and death, your PACS solution needs to extend the reach of Medical Imaging throughout your institution and beyond.
A Solution for Your Complete Enterprise
Cedara I-Reach is a web-based DICOM server that provides access to relevant information at the appropriate time, presented in the proper context, with the clinically relevant tools to ensure patient outcomes are accurate and timely.

Orthopaedic Tools and Templates Orthopaedic tools and templates are available to assist Orthopaedic Surgeons with planning using digital images. Image relation and Cobb angle measurements are just some of the specialized tools provided. Digital prosthetic templates can be overlaid on images to ensure sizing of prosthetic devices is accurate.
Scalable Solution
Web-Enabled Deployment The remote user can perform image viewing and manipulation via the Internet. The client software is automatically downloaded the first time the user accesses the Cedara I-Reach server from their computer. Advanced tools are also downloaded depending on user privileges.
Upgradability Because Cedara I-Reach is web-enabled, deploying software upgrades is easy. Upon upgrading the server software, the client software is deployed automatically over the web.
Progressive Downloading The Cedara I-Reach software uses progressive downloading to give users instant access to images with immediate interactivity while the entire study loads to the client.
Scalable to Include Multiple Healthcare Facilities Cedara I-Reach readily scales healthcare enterprises incorporating multiple facilities for easy access to studies from many different locations.
HIS/RIS Integration Cedara I-Reach seamlessly integrates with any information and repository system through its available interfaces.
