============================================

GE Healthcare’s Centricity cardiovascular information system has won
Frost & Sullivan’s 2008 ‘product line leadership’ award.
The GE CIS system recognised is Centricity Carddas Xi². The CIS is
designed to meet cardiologist’s needs for advanced data management and
PACS capabilities in a common infrastructure for cardiology and
radiology.

According to GE Cardass provides a single environment for Cath Labs,
Echo Labs and 3D processing of CT, MR, and PET/CT datasets.
GE is this week presenting the next version of the software at the
European Congress of Cardiology in Munich, Germany.

The new version 3.0 offers a set of new features, including a shift to
Microsoft’s .NET technology. Additional new features include
graphically advanced statistics tool to display statistical results,
the scheduler for effective time management and an additional function
for clinical vessel based reporting.
The system is designed to be the environment of choice for Cath Labs,
Echo Labs and 3D processing of CT, MR, and PET/CT datasets.

Konstantinos Nikolopoulos, programme leader, Healthcare IT & Life
Sciences IT at Frost & Sullivan said the trend in cardiology
information systems was “away from specific modalities and into single
integrated solutions”. He said GE Healthcare has invested in a strong
portfolio for cardiology image and data management “that has allowed
the company to set the standards for product features and
functionality in Cardiology Information Systems”.
Nikolopoulos said: “With in-depth understanding of end-user
requirements, robust research and development efforts, demonstrated
ability to respond to end-user’s needs and an expanding customer base,
GE Healthcare has already created a strong and trustworthy name in the
European Cardiology Information Systems market”.

One of the main features of Centricity Carddas Xi² 3.0 is an optimised
workflow for echocardiography. For the first time ever, a new
functional area for cardiology examinations will be introduced in MR.
This allows an extremely fast and sound diagnosis of MR images. The
tool to set-up user specific data fields raises flexibility while
documenting for example clinical studies or relevant data and in
addition, meets the expectations of a steadily growing demand for an
individual user interface.

Dr Ralf Birkemeyer, the lead cardiologist at the cathlab and intensive
care unit at the Schwarzwald-Baar Clinics, in Villingen-Schwenningen,
Germany, is one of the first users of Centricity Carddas Xi² 3.0. He
said: “The solution is ideal for a profound diagnosis and an optimised
workflow in all areas of our cardiology department.”
Dr Birkemeyer added: “The new cardiac MR reporting capabilities help
us a lot to keep our cardiology database consistent with all the
examination data and findings we are performing in our department.”
