Two recent polls from Diagnostic Imaging reinforce a common sight in today’s hospital and practices—the use of tablets is proliferating. 70 percent of Diagnostic Imaging readers use tablets professionally and 47 percent plan to purchase the new iPad to use in their practice.

This tablet usage is being driven by the appeal of no longer being tethered to a workstation—the ability to consult images with patients at the bedside or on the way to the operating room or emergency department, and access to images easily from home or another clinic via a secure Internet connection.

But mobile viewers require a new approach to image access technology—accessibility without additional software, no storage or technology requirements, and an intuitive design to minimize training and speed adoption. The viewer needs to be independent so it can integrate with other vendors’ PACS systems, DICOM archives, or XDS repositories. It should also be embedded in a HIS or EMR portal to allow clinicians and referring physicians to quickly and easily view patient data and radiology images with a single log-in.

To celebrate the FDA clearance for iPad® of our new Vue Motion, we created a replica iPad out of paper and sent it to many U.S. radiology and IT professionals. We invited the audience to view Carestream’s Michael Hornbeck demonstrate the zero-footprint HTML5 viewer or to download a white paper that outlines how to deploy Vue Motion over multiple sites, making images available to referring physicians, radiologists at home or at remote locations.

Key products features:

• HTML5 viewer means no software download for devices “zero footprint”
• PACS agnostic – able to use with any platform
• Integrates with EMRs
• Works with XDS
