Introduction PathSpeed™ PACS (Picture Archiving Communications System) combines state-of-the-art computer-based imaging, database, storage, and networking technologies to provide an efficient alternative to the traditional film-based handling of radiology information in a medical facility. PathSpeed manages and transports digital medical images for clinical interpretation, diagnosis and consultation within a single department or outside the hospital boundaries in an enterprise setting.
System Description PathSpeed features a modular, scaleable architecture and design addressing the need for storage, distribution and display of digital images and information in a radiology environment.
All the PathSpeed components are supported by standard, off-the-shelf, networking components over Ethernet. The on-demand system integrates field-proven, cost effective, high-performance components from GE Medical Systems and other major suppliers.
PathSpeed Workstations
The GE PathSpeed™ family of workstations offers high-resolution, high-performance access to radiological images, patient reports, and diagnostic tools. Java™-based software running on a powerful Windows NT™ platform allows rapid software development and takes advantage of evolving PC technology.
PathSpeed Film Digitizers
The PathSpeed™ family of DICOM Film Digitizers offers an ideal, low-cost solution for organizations that need to digitize conventional film archives. Using a PathSpeed™ film digitizer, you can distribute and archive historical exams that were acquired on non-PACS modalities. Digitized films can be quickly digitized and transferred to any DICOM-compliant device inside or outside your facility.
