CoActiv Announces Innovative EXAM-PACS® Donation Program for Qualifying Schools of Radiologic Technology
Helps Support the Radiology Professionals of the Future
November 29, 2010—Chicago— Making an important commitment to the future of the radiology profession, CoActiv (Booth # 9100) announces at RSNA 2010 a new EXAM-PACS donation program for qualifying educational institutions with accredited radiologic technologist training programs. The new initiative has already been tested with several RT Programs, including Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, Bunker Hill Community College in Boston and Bergen County Community College in New Jersey.
As part of the program, qualifying schools will receive a complete, full-featured EXAM-PACS application free of charge as well as access to the CoActiv cloud-based EXAM-VAULT® QUAD-REDUNDANT ARCHIVING® system for radiology instructional images and related data. The colleges also will receive complimentary system setup and instructor training as well as access to required hardware at cost. All radiologic technology students and instructors at participating schools will have their own EXAM-PACS log-ins entitling them to unlimited use of the system throughout their association with the school.
With CoActiv’s sophisticated Web-based platform and cloud-based offsite image storage, students and faculty will be able to view their images from any Internet-enabled PC, whether in the classroom, dorm room or home.
“CoActiv has enjoyed tremendous success as a radiology vendor and is committed to giving back to the radiology community,” said Ed Heere, president and CEO of CoActiv. “We believe that this offer is an important way to help ensure that tomorrow’s professionals master the advanced PACS technology that is such an important part of their profession. We found that many radiologic technology educational programs not affiliated with medical schools do not have the budget to provide students with access to a full-featured, enterprise-class PACS. CoActiv feels that working in a modern digital environment is an important part of a student’s education, and we are committed to helping qualified institutions accomplish this goal.”
While most radiologic technologists in training do work hands-on with some modalities and with image phantoms in an imaging lab, they often are not trained in some advanced image processing applications, such as PACS techniques. Students will benefit significantly when their lab work involves the state-of-the-art IT applications that they will use in future jobs.
“EXAM-PACS will introduce students to a full range of advanced PACS features,” comments Heere. “With EXAM-PACS, technologists will be able to take advantage of the most advanced PACS capabilities on the market today.”
EXAM-PACS is a Web-based enterprise PACS that sets new standards in functionality, speed and ease of use. From state-of-the-art image analysis tools and built-in 3D processing to streamlined image communication beyond the enterprise, CoActiv EXAM-PACS provides a truly advanced image management environment. It supports a full range of modalities, including new techniques such as Breast Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI). In addition to image storage, it manages a wide range of related patient information, from scanned data such as patient notes and prescriptions to radiation therapy images and DICOM-RT data object treatment plans.
EXAM-PACS boasts an open architecture that provides integration with most other radiology and medical IT applications, while a broad range of specialized and customizable features support a full range of modalities and workflow. Designed in components, CoActiv EXAM-PACS is easily adaptable to meet a full range of needs and is the first ever PACS that is both technologically and financially scalable for facilities large and small.
The new CoActiv Radiologic Technologist Donation program will be rolled out on a state by state basis, beginning in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Additional regions will be added as resources become available.
