Image Management System
Digital image management solution
Consisting of a pathology viewer and a server and storage application, Image Management System (IMS) is designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your pathology lab. The open, scalable design and new user interface integrate into your workflow and IT infrastructure environment. The IMS manages image repositories – including whole slide images (WSI) and gross images – and comprehensive LIS integration, networking, security, audit trail and archiving capabilities. Easy access to information and resources can enhance digital case review.

Features
Integrating bi-directionally between LIS-IMS
Unify patient data in a streamlined workflow with bi-directional LIS-IMS integration. The updated viewer enables case review, access to multidisciplinary patient data and collaboration. Launch the IMS from the LIS worklist or synchronization of case-related clinical data between systems can be realized.
Building a virtual network with open, scalable solutions
Connect your teams with a scalable solution that enables easy sharing of patient-centric histology data across organizations and between sites. Build virtual networks across labs by adding new locations and users. IMS offers scalable, tiered server and storage options that grow with you. You can choose from three different storage plans to suit your needs. The open platform empowers new interoperabilityoptions as your needs and priorities change. The system easily interfaces with multiple LIS, a broad array of hardware, third-party scanner vendors and image analysis software.
Streamlining digital workflow to enhance user experience
IMS offers specialized tools for measurement, annotation, collaboration, and archive management. Review cases quickly using fast slide-to-slide transitions and confer on cases using single-click collaboration connection. Case details are presented with a digital slide tray, which organizes the slides like an analog slide tray. It includes case-related documents, grossing images and case-specific notes. This overview of slides can indicate which slides have been viewed, annotated and if additional slides have been ordered. Access role-based, user-specific case lists along with related patient data and notes.
