Konica Minolta Unveils New PACS/RIS Platform for Radiologists
The Exa PACS/RIS platform reportedly combines AI-enabled worklist navigation tools with advances in multiplanar functionality and 3D-generated image segmentation.
Offering enhanced imaging capabilities as well as artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools to promote radiology workflow efficiencies, Konica Minolta has launched the Exa PACS/RIS platform.
Key features of Exa PACS/RIS include the cloud-native NewVue feature, which utilizes AI to enhance efficient worklist navigation, and an automated tool from Clearpath Technologies that streamlines digital sharing of images and records with other providers, according to Konica Minolta.

The company added that Exa PACS/RIS provides bolstered multiplanar reconstruction as well as 3D image reconstruction and segmentation, all of which can be viewed without clicking out of the Exa viewer.
“Confident diagnosis requires more than a single imaging study—it demands the right information, in the right place, at the right time. Our next-generation Exa PACS|RIS delivers powerful clinical and workflow tools, transforming data into actionable insights for smarter decision-making,” noted Matthew Andersen, the executive director of product management for Konica Minolta HCIT.
