McKesson Provider Technologies - Medical Imaging Group

(Booth 2542) McKesson will present the latest releases of its Horizon Medical Imaging and Horizon Cardiology packages at the 2007 RSNA meeting.

Horizon Medical Imaging 11.5 allows radiologists to annotate, bookmark, or flag images; adjust image presentation; report on studies; and use McKesson's ER Discrepancy Tracking application, according to the Richmond, British Columbia-based firm. Customers can also choose the deployment model appropriate to specific locations and end users throughout the enterprise, McKesson said. Scalability has also been increased.

Version 11.1 of Horizon Cardiology supports hemodynamic monitoring, cath, echocardiography, vascular, nuclear reporting, and cardiology PACS on a single platform, according to McKesson. It also supports 3D CT reconstruction for angiography and ventricular function.

In addition, McKesson will discuss a work-in-progress ECG package, including an ECG workflow application and multivendor interface capabilities. When released, the offering will be integrated with the rest of the Horizon Cardiology platform, according to McKesson.

McKesson said it is also now offering integration between Horizon Medical Imaging 11.0.5 (and greater) and Horizon Cardiology 11.1. Users will be able to cross-launch applications on each workstation, and take advantage of a shared network-attached storage (NAS) model, archive, and a Vitrea (Vital Images) licensing model, according to the vendor.
