At SIIM, DR Systems to Exhibit Latest RIS/PACS Software with Advanced System Capabilities

SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
DR Systems will be exhibiting the new Release 8.2 software for its Unity
RIS/PACS platform at SIIM 2009. The company will be highlighting:

1
Access via enterprise-based and physician office EMRs,
2
DICOM Structured Reports,
3
Critical Results Tracking, and
4
Peer Review

DR Systems, the leading independent provider of RIS/PACS solutions, will be at
Booth 819 in the exhibit hall from Thursday, June 4 to Sunday, June 7. SIIM 2009
will be held June 4-7 in Charlotte, N.C.

Key strengths of the new Release 8.2 for the Unity RIS/PACS are its advances in
interoperability and distributed radiology architecture.

In the coming new environment of global, purely distributed radiology
enterprises, diagnosticians` physical location will be relatively unimportant.
More significant will be their ability to access geographically distributed
images and reports from wherever they are - a hospital, their office, their
home, or a Web-connected location while traveling.

DR Systems` approach to distributed radiology architecture takes advantage of
advances in industry standards such as DICOM, broadband communication and open
source software. The company`s technology enables comprehensive radiology
workflow and flexible routing of diagnostic images and patient information
throughout the distributed enterprise.

New application capabilities in Release 8.2 include:

* Unity access via enterprise-based and physician office EMRs (electronic
medical record). Accessing through a Web browser to the EMR allows for clinical
review of exam reports, images, and voice clips along with other patient
information.
* DICOM Structured Reports: Automatically captures DICOM data such as ultrasound
measurements from the modality and transfers it to the exam report, increasing
the radiologist's accuracy and saving time for the technologist.
* Critical Results: Tracks critical values and tests. Audits timeliness of
reporting results to responsible caregivers.
* Peer Review: Evaluates prior exam reports and diagnoses completed by other
physicians in the practice. Helps facilitate better quality interpretations by
educating reading physicians.
* Multiple Volume Support. This capability provides greater system scalability
while increasing data safety, configuration flexibility, and system
availability.
* Enhanced Sentinel Capabilities: Sentinel monitors the real-time performance of
the RIS/PACS application as well as workflow activities. Among several other new
capabilities, Sentinel can be used to send e-mail alerts when the status of the
site changes.

Finally, DR Systems will be exhibiting the Unity CS Series Software modules at
SIIM 2009. The Unity CS Series provides healthcare providers with the ability to
use the full range of Unity RIS/PACS software features on client-supplied
hardware.
