FUJIFILM Synapse reaches industry milestone as most widely installed PACS
Stamford, C.T., November 24, 2014 (Booth # 2511, South Building) – At the 100th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. has announced it has reached an important milestone in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) installations, having installed 4,000 Synapse PACS systems in healthcare facilities around the world. With this announcement, Fujifilm is now considered the most widely used medical informatics vendor and is the global leader among PACS.
“This is a major accomplishment and defining moment,” said Jim Morgan, vice president of Medical Informatics at FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. “Fujifilm is incredibly proud today as we reflect on the significant contributions our business has made to improving health across the globe.”
The cornerstone of Fujifilm’s integrated solution is Synapse PACS. Two main goals – enhanced communication and optimized productivity for radiologists in any imaging environment – were the impetus behind its development. New enhancements to Synapse PACS that will be highlighted at RSNA include Synapse Communications. Synapse Communications will feature Peer Review, Critical Results, Emergency Department Findings, and Fujifilm’s new Pulse for users to track all important study activities. Fujifilm will also focus on collaboration features accessible within Synapse PACS, including new mammography reading features, unique Synapse CommonView sharing capability for outside and cloud study transfers, and integration capabilities with other radiology and EHR third-party vendors to optimize workflow.
