AMICAS PACS Version 6.0 delivers intrinsic mammography workflow and
visualization tools, which helps drive a solid return on investment and
increased productivity for radiologists. With intrinsic mammography and
high-end tools for reading all radiology studies, AMICAS PACS provides for all
of a radiologist's needs in a single, Web-based workstation.
"When AMICAS was developing its intrinsic mammography capabilities, they
reached out to me - and other radiologists - to ensure that their radiology
PACS fits into the real world of mammography," said Randy Hicks MD,
radiologist and owner of Regional Medical Imaging of Flint, MI. "AMICAS
actively solicits feedback from practicing radiologists, and I have found that
this collaborative process delivers a superior PACS solution for my practice."
"My practice is an ACR-certified Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, so it is
important to me to be able to perform all of my reads - including digital
mammography, breast MRI, breast ultrasound, BSGI, and all of my multi-modality
breast biopsy images - on a single PACS workstation," said Dr. Hicks. "AMICAS
has delivered a solution that improves my productivity and allows me to avoid
expensive standalone workstations."
Dr. Randy Hicks will be in the AMICAS booth at RSNA to discuss his
productivity gains and return on investment associated with AMICAS PACS. To
schedule a time to meet with Dr. Hicks and to learn more about AMICAS'

"In the past, radiologists had two choices if they wanted to provide digital
mammography services. They could use their radiology PACS viewer for
interpreting non-mammography studies and use a separately-licensed - and
cost-prohibitive - mammography workstation for mammography studies. Their
alternative was to read all of their studies - including mammography studies -
on their standard radiology PACS viewer, which has a few mammography-related
features but lacks the functionality to truly facilitate efficient mammography
reading workflow," said Rodney Hawkins, vice president of product management
at AMICAS.
"AMICAS PACS delivers the best of both worlds: a Web-based viewer with
powerful features and intrinsic mammography - and leading-edge features for
reading non-mammography studies," said Mr. Hawkins.
