required, and it has a more logical workflow, especially with respect to
the study tree,” he says. “We’re able to map our imaging protocols to the
Radiology Information System (RIS). For example, when you select a
chest X-ray, we’ve programmed the protocols to give us all of the views
that we could do for that particular procedure. Previously, we had to
select them individually.”
The two workstations, which serve two general X-ray rooms, one mobile
X-ray and one fluoroscopy room, are integrated with the San’s IMPAX
Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Once the
images are sent to the PACS, they can be viewed by doctors within the
hospital via Agfa HealthCare’s IMPAX WEB1000™ web server interface,
and by authorized users over the internet as well.
Intuitive, user-friendly interface made move to
new system easy
The software’s intuitive interface and the NX workstation’s touch screen
helped the San’s technologists make the transition to the new system
with ease. “Once staff started to use it, they saw its advantages and
its speed, and how it eliminated steps that were taken in the old
system,” says Andrew Featherstone. The responsiveness of the NX
touch screen allows technologists to use the system quickly, and
use the mouse much less than before. Another important benefit,
for technologists and for patients, is that the NX system lets
technologists manage image identification and quality control right
at the point of care.
