McKesson unveils workstation for radiology
McKesson has united image and information management with a RIS/PACS workstation that automates workflow by streamlining the assessment of images and patient data.
McKesson has united image and information management with a RIS/PACS workstation that automates workflow by streamlining the assessment of images and patient data.
Embedded in the Horizon Rad Station are advanced features, including adaptive image loading to optimize image display and navigation, virtual image management to support the visualization of data obtained using multislice CT and other high-data volume modalities, and clinical series mapping that enables common display protocols for vendor-specific DICOM implementations.
Horizon Rad Station is a core component of McKesson's Horizon Radiology integrated RIS/PACS suite, which includes image management, navigation, information management, workflow automation, and digitization of the patient record. The Web-based system integrates billing, claims, data distribution, and reporting functionality in configurations that can be stretched to handle imaging and outpatient centers as well as small hospitals or large multisite enterprises.
The RIS and PACS components use standards-based interfaces and Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise framework to work with other systems. The PACS includes a Web-based single-view workstation and enhanced tools for nuclear medicine, orthopedic templating, and 3D imaging.
AI Facilitates Nearly 83 Percent Improvement in Turnaround Time for Fracture X-Rays
December 19th 2023In addition to offering a 98.5 percent sensitivity rate in diagnosing fractures on X-ray, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software reportedly helped reduce mean turnaround time on X-ray fracture diagnosis from 48 hours to 8.3 hours, according to new research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.

December 5th 2020Nina Kottler, M.D., chief medical officer of AI at Radiology Partners, discusses, during RSNA 2020, what new developments the annual meeting provided about these technologies, sessions to access, and what to expect in the coming year.
Can an Emerging PET Radiotracer Enhance Detection of Prostate Cancer Recurrence?
December 14th 2023The use of 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI demonstrated a 35 percent higher sensitivity rate than MRI alone for the diagnosis of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, according to research recently presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
RSNA 2020: Addressing Healthcare Disparities and Access to Care
December 4th 2020Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.
Can AI Improve Detection of Extraprostatic Extension on MRI?
December 4th 2023Utilizing a deep learning-based AI algorithm to differentiate between diagnostic and non-diagnostic quality of prostate MRI facilitated a 10 percent higher specificity rate for diagnosing extraprostatic extension on multiparametric MRI, according to research presented at the recent RSNA conference.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
