Fujifilm Medical Systems USA has launched version 5.6.1 of its Synapse Cardiology PACS software.
The next-generation, server-side rendering-based system brings enhanced reporting, security, and workflow features to Synapse Cardiology PACS, according to the vendor. It has already been placed into clinical use at North Memorial Health, a Minneapolis-area health system and longstanding Fujifilm customer, the company said.
The upgrade is being conducted in phases at the institution. So far, the health system has transitioned its cardiac catheterization lab over from web-based to server-side rendering, improving physician access to images, as well as workflow speed and performance, according to the vendor. In addition, imaging and reporting from invasive peripheral and vascular modalities are now actively being sent to the facility's electronic medical record software, according to Fujifilm.
The company said that transitioning its radiology and cardiology PACS to a server-side rendering model marks a big step toward its goal of a common radiology and cardiology PACS platform that's enabled for artificial intelligence (AI).
