PRW: Radiology Information Systems Introduces $22,250 DICOM 3.0 Teleradiology Solution
Howtek MultiRAD(TM) Digitizer Included Breakthrough Modular System for On-call Radiology, Centralized Readings and Consultation
HUDSON, N.H., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiology Information Systems, Inc.
(RIS) of Chantilly, Virginia and Howtek, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOWT) today announced
the introduction of a complete DICOM 3.0 teleradiology capture workstation,
including a Howtek MultiRAD 450 film digitizer, for $22,250, or $540 per
month. The system, offered and supported directly by RIS, includes RSVS
capture, receive and view software, including compression, high-speed host
computer with 15" color monitor, and the Howtek MultiRAD 450 digitizer with
advanced "Red LED" illumination. A modular review station is also available
for $5,350, including RSVS review software with decompression, host computer
and a 17" color monitor. The RIS DICOM 3.0 solution is a modular and
extensible system, compatible with other DICOM 3.0 teleradiology and PACS
systems. It can serve as a stand-alone solution for on-call teleradiology,
centralized readings and consultation or as a building block in more
extensive systems. Sales Information is available from RIS at (877) -
SCANRIS (877-722- 6747).
Dr. Chen-Tai Ma, President of RIS, noted some of the benefits of the RIS
DICOM 3.0 modular approach; "We are offering an entry level solution for
less than the cost of some office copying machines, which meets the needs of
many physicians and practices. At the same time, the RIS system provides
users with an industry standard open architecture and DICOM 3.0 compliance,
making the system open-ended and extensible."
Components of the RSVS software system include DICOM-standard film image
capture, video image capture, image review, patient folder management, off-
line CD image archive management, image wavelet compression and hard copy
image print solutions, all based on RIS' DICOM information server and DICOM
image gateway capabilities.
Howtek MultiRAD digitizers, with patent-pending red-light illumination, are
designed to offer high quality imaging in a reliable, small-footprint
design, at a comparatively low cost. Howtek's MultiRAD 450 digitizer, with
4K resolution and a 50-film batch feeder, is designed for teleradiology and
PACS applications. Dr. Ma noted, "The MultiRAD's self-calibration feature
and ability to capture and resolve detail in darker film areas is, in our
view, far superior to older, fluorescent-lamp digitizing technologies."
Radiology Information Systems offers health care providers a wide range of
advanced diagnostic imaging and information sharing solutions supporting
improved diagnoses and health care options and increased productivity.
Howtek designs, engineers, and manufactures digital image scanners, film
digitizers and related software for applications in the graphic arts,
photographic and medical imaging markets.
