The Benefits of Integrated RIS/PACS
at Blue Ridge HealthCare Presented by Siemens Medical Solutions Siemens Medical Solutions invites you to learn how Blue Ridge HealthCare has used the Siemens Cosmos integrated RIS/PACS system to help it:
Additional benefits realized from the Cosmos RIS/PACS installation include an improved workflow that reduced the number of steps in the imaging process by nearly 50%, as well as a complete filmless and paperless environment achieved in the ED, by using interactive documents. |

Glimpse the Future
This symposium will also look to the near future, when this solution will be expanded to the Valdese Hospital and the Outpatient Imaging Center after a $100 million renovation and expansion project is completed. At that time, integrated voice recognition will be deployed and an enterprise-wide filmless and paperless environment will be created. | |

![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=100&q=70&w=100)
