The DR Systems PACS, Release 6.1 is a medical image and information management system that allows viewing, selection, processing, printing, telecommunications, and media interchange of medical images from a variety of diagnostic imaging systems. The DR Systems PACS interfaces to various storage and printing devices using DICOM or similar interface standards. The DR Systems PACS displays, stores, prints, and telecommunicates images from a number of medical modalities, including but not limited to MRI, CT, US, PET, DXA (bone densitometry), imaging, computed radiography, digital radiography, digitized films, digital photographs, mammographic images, and processed data from FDAcleared third party image processing systems, including FDA-cleared systems for computer-aided detection and advanced image processing (e.g. 3-D processed images such as those produced by Voxar Corp.). Lossy compressed mammographic images must not be used for primary diagnostic interpretation unless approved for use in digital mammography. Display monitors used for primary diagnostic interpretation of mammographic images must be approved for use in digital mammography.
