NOVARAD NOVAPACS

7-Year Onsite Archive Manager for Fast, Powerful Image Retrieval and Storage

Radiologists told us they wanted an on-site archive system that was faster and more affordable than traditional archive systems of DVD, optical disk, and tape. We listened, and the result is NovaArchive. The NovaArchive manager utilizes RAID level 5 technology and was built from the ground up to be the ultimate onsite medical imaging archive. We built it to offer features you won't find anywhere else, including a unique data flow process and unprecedented control over archive activity. It is configured for both 90-day uncompressed and seven-year compressed storage. And because it was written for Windows 2000 Server, it utilizes readily available technology and does not require large capital expenditures. It is the most powerful and affordable archive system available.

Image Manipulation is Mouse Driven - Never Take Your Eyes Off the Images!

NovaView, NovaRad's Enterprise Radiologist Workstation, is the key to reading and manipulating images in a way that makes the most sense for the radiologist. Radiologists love NovaView because it makes their job easier. They love the features that let them just get to work and do it their way. For example, the 'choose series' floating toolbar, the 'record' and 'play' features (voice annotation), the 'notes', the 'key images', the 'window / level customizability' and floating toolbar and its association with the F keys for quick use, the 'cross localization', 'point cross localization', 'auto sync' and 'set sync', the 'auto checkout', 'auto reviewed', the 'measuring' tool, the 'ROI', and the 'advanced hanging protocols'.

As a primary image reading source, NovaView is a multi-monitor system that supports MRI, CT, Ultrasound, Nuc Med, Angio, CR, DR and other DICOM compliant images at any resolution and on any PC hardware. It also supports full DICOM query and retrieval of images point-to-point or via the Internet. Even though NovaRad has full feature web-based products, the radiologist workstation is designed to push images to a location so radiologists don't have to wait on the Internet.

What further sets NovaView apart is its intuitive interface with customizable features. NovaView features adaptive learning of specific physician presets-meaning the system learns how each doctor wants images displayed. All main tools including hanging protocols, window/leveling, zoom, next/previous page, image, series, and image scroll are accessible through mouse shortcuts or keyboard shortcuts. NovaView comes standard with a variety of popular hanging protocols or you can design your own.

For easy access and organization, worklists can be generated by exam type, dictation status, anatomic location, referring physician, patient location, and many others. NovaView auto-displays previous relevant studies and allows key images to be annotated with any combination of grease pencil, text, measurement and delete or recorded voice file with dynamic mouse cursor annotation and then saves it to a separate file. It also allows auto and manual synchronization of pre- and post- contrast and old and new images.

NovaER, NovaRad's ER workstation combines all the features needed for the ER docs with speed and ease of use. We understand ER docs want a workstation where they can quickly view the images and see what they need to see, with no time wasted and NovaER provides just that. With fully functional, but easy to use hanging protocols, measuring tools, notes features, window/level/zoom, worklist, query, and auto display old images, this workstation fills all the needs. All functions are customizable with preferences assigned to a log-in and anything can be assigned to a function key or mouse button. The voice annotation and notes from the radiologist, as well as full reports also come up with the image.

NovaOR, side-by-side images From PACS viewable in large-scale format for the OR doctors. Viewing images from the PACS in the operating room can now be easier with the NovaPACS OR Viewer. The new OR Viewer allows physicians to compare old and new images side by side and view images in a large-scale format on a 30-inch monitor.

In addition to standard window, level, pan, zoom, measure, and cross localize functions, the NovaPACS OR Viewer features single-click viewing of radiologist reports, the ability to preset window/level preferences by login for instant call up, and plain-paper print.

Developed to meet the needs of OR physicians, the NovaPACS OR Viewer can quickly call up and display archived and new patient images side-by-side for easier comparison and the large-scale image display helps to improve viewing in the OR environment.

A Robust, Highly Dependable PACS Engine

NovaCentral Server is the most powerful DICOM server available. NovaCentral Server reads the DICOM header of images and places the needed elements into the DICOM database for comprehensive image management. Auto-extraction, auto-route, auto-compress and auto-delete functions can be customized to your presets to minimize network support time and effort. Complete routing capabilities allow for routing to other TCP/IP enabled computers anywhere in the world via the Internet or modem.

In addition, NovaCentral Server can also serve as the primary interface for all non-DICOM modalities when used in conjunction with the NovaCapture frame grabber and NovaScan products. It places all DICOM images into the database where they can then be routed to any location via the Internet or modem.
