It was an exciting demonstration that pointed to their groundbreaking advances in medical imaging. Our goal is to make the work of radiologists and clinicians faster and more efficient. The workstation proposed by Cedara and UCLA will facilitate rapid clinical actions and increase physician efficiency by facilitating data gathering as well as optimize data presentation and display. The design and implementation of the new workstation is expected to have a positive impact on the decision making process and delivery of care. At present, no technology exists to allow cardiology images from different imaging modalities to be reviewed on a single platform, making it difficult to access results from multiple imaging tests in a convenient manner for timely and efficient review.
Cardiac investigations rely on different imaging modalities, performed by different sub-specialists.
The clinical application and diagnosis of cardiac diseases requires health professionals to combine and confront findings from the different modalities. The project responds to a clear demand for more versatile and flexible imaging workstations that can handle all imaging modalities and still provide the analysis tools that are specific to each of them. Cedara Software Corp. is a global leader in medical imaging software technology, with software solutions for Diagnostic Imaging, Image Management and Image Guided Therapy. The company employs more than 400 knowledge workers in the greater Toronto area, Tokyo and Silicon Valley who develop, sell and service 2D, 3D and 4D medical imaging software applications, components, platforms and custom engineering solutions. It is the primary teaching hospital for the UCLA School of Medicine.
