The FINANCIAL — Space Portal At this year’s SNM Annual Meeting,June 9-13, Royal Philips Electronics is highlighting its portfolio of nuclear medicine applicationsfor IntelliSpace Portal, adding to its existing portfolio of CT, MR and multimodality applications.
The full suite of NM applicationswill now offercomprehensive processing and review capabilitiesat a level normally reserved exclusively for dedicated NMworkstations. The company will also showcase solutions designed to increase diagnostic confidence, enhance patient comfort, augment physician confidence, simplify clinical workflow and reducelifecycle costs.
“The nuclear medicine applications portfolio for the IntelliSpace Portal is designed to help nuclear medicine professionals improve their workflow and evaluate a patient’s progress,” said Jay Mazelsky, senior vice president and general manager, Philips Computed Tomography and Nuclear Medicine. “As a leader in nuclear medicine, Philips strives to provide solutions for our customers that improve collaboration in order to provide enhanced carefor patients.”
The NM applications portfolio for IntelliSpace Portal now allows NM technologists andphysicians to process, review and analyze images from SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET/CT and PET/MR, andthen share images and findings with referring physicians using advanced collaboration tools. The clinical applications on IntelliSpace Portal can be accessed from virtually any networked computer – allowing clinicians the flexibility to collaboratively assess results at the hospital or remotely.
“The IntelliSpace Portal nuclear medicine features have drastically changed the way we treat patients,” said JanuszKikut, MD, director of nuclear medicine and PET/CT, Fletcher Allen Health Care, Burlington, Vt. “The features now allow us to better monitor change in disease status using the nuclear medicine imaging modalities that are often important to diagnosis. And, since we can access IntelliSpace Portal away from our campus, we’ve been able to improve our workflow with radiologists and seamlessly communicate the nuclear medicine results to referring physicians.”
According to Philips Electronics, since the IntelliSpace Portal is built on a scalable server-client platform, it also offers the flexibility to efficiently add concurrent users as well as new clinical applications. This virtually eliminates the need for costly and time consuming upgrades across multiple workstations.The IntelliSpace Portal can alsointerface with Philips or non-Philips picture archiving and communication systems, (PACS) providing direct access to the comprehensive suite of NM review and processing applications.
