SX3031W Provides More Real Estate and Ergonomics for Radiologists
AltaPACS, a Canadian–based radiology ITcompany, provides and manages all thehardware and software systems for two of
the largest radiology providers in Canada,Radiology Consultants Associated andEFW Radiology. With over 85 doctors in
multiple locations throughout Calgary,Alberta, there is a great need for quality
imaging solutions for the radiologists whopractice from their clinic offices. A recent
priority was to resolve the lack of screen realestate at their reading desks. Multiple
monitor configurations were often necessary
for the number of applications they had tolook at on screen, which were cumbersome
and taking up a lot of desktop space.

One of the radiologists had remembered seeing a large format solution from Eizo at a radiology
exhibition and mentioned it to AltaPACS as a possible solution. AtaPACS began investigating solutions
that might help resolve the ergonomic need of the radiologists and requested a demo from Eizo. Afterlooking at Eizo’s 30" FlexScan SX3031W, andtesting the image quality and color reproduction
on the unit, they made an initial order of 25units. AltaPACS has since equipped all locations
with these monitors.

The radiologists were not looking for adiagnostic quality monitor for their primaryreads, but instead a monitor for use in all theirother daily applications. Applications like theirdictation systems, PACS systems, e-mail, andtheir Radiology Information Systems (RIS)

tended to take a lot of desktop space and required multiple monitor
configurations on their desks. Once the radiologists started installing theSX3031W into their environments, they realized how versatile thesemonitors were. They could not only do their everyday tasks, but theimaging was so good they could clearly read MR and ultrasounds. Thisnew monitor was compact enough to allow them to view a majority of
their applications in one workspace.
FlexScan SX3031W is AltaPACS’monitor of choice.

“We also liked the SX3031W’s ability to dovideo splitting from multiple PCs which is often
used by some in our network,” says Joe Moreau,president of AltaPACS. “When our radiologists
are in front of their workstations 8 hours a day,every day, they need a workstation that isergonomic and will deliver the best clarity
possible. We were impressed with how the Eizo’s
improved the radiologist’s experience.”

AltaPACS is responsible for the IT operations of two radiology clinic partnerships in Canada: Radiology
Consultants Associated and EFW Radiology. Radiology Consultants Associated’s mission is to provide
the highest quality, most timely and appropriate services to meet the needs of physicians and their patients.
EFW Radiology’s mission is to leverage their subspecialty-focused knowledge and expertise to deliver
high quality consultation services and excellent patient care. The new SX3031Ws in their environment
has allowed them the added efficiency to reach those goals. Both entities combined perform over 700,000
exams and readings per year.
