Carestream Health will show work-in-progress upgrade to its PACS at the upcoming RSNA meeting that will allow cross-site reading through a unified global worklist. The new capability will allow radiologists to add key images, measurement results, and other content directly into reports with the click of a button or through voice commands. A single display interface will associate imported DICOM and non-DICOM data into an existing patient portfolio, complementing the current ability of the PACS to view DICOM and non-DICOM data.
