Viztek to showcase advancements in breast imaging at SIIM 2015
RALEIGH, NC--(Marketwired - May 12, 2015) - (SIIM Booth #525) -- Viztek, the leading provider of complete digital software and hardware diagnostic imaging solutions, will debut its new Exa Mammo Viewer to attendees during the upcoming Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) annual meeting, May 28-30 in Washington, DC. An extension of the Viztek Exa platform which debuted at SIIM in 2014, the Exa Mammo Viewer leverages advanced technologies to bring the benefits of single workstation viewing and remote access for any 2D or 3D mammography study to the specialty of breast imaging.
Using two technologies inherent in the Viztek Exa platform—true zero footprint (ZFP) viewing and server side rendering (SSR)—Viztek is delivering for the first time a mammography viewer with two unique advantages. The Viztek Exa Mammo Viewer displays full diagnostic quality images from any modality, including digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), and enables radiologists to read, diagnose and compare breast images from any location within the department or offsite.
"It is finally time for breast imaging to have the same benefits and workflow efficiencies that the rest of radiology has been enjoying, and Viztek is proud to be leading the way in breast imaging and the first to support tomosynthesis viewing," said Steve Deaton, vice president, Viztek.
"Tomosynthesis is a game changer, and so we changed how studies can be viewed. A single workstation, fast downloads and excellent image quality from any location is now the breast imaging standard from Viztek."
In addition to showcasing the new Exa Mammo Viewer, Viztek will also participate in the panel discussion, Digital Breast Tomosynthesis: Ready for PACS Prime Time? The session will address the challenges of digital breast tomosynthesis viewing, at a time when there is growing acceptance and adoption of the modality. The panelists will discuss infrastructure, integration, and standardization challenges posed by DBT, along with current solutions. The details of the session are as follows:
