Radiology picture archiving and communication system application software

Intended purpose

NovaPACS is intended for the viewing, archiving, analysis, annotation, registration, distribution, editing, fusion, and processing of digital medical images and data acquired from diagnostic imaging devices and all DICOM devices, including mammography. NovaPACS is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals, including radiologists, physicians, technologists, clinicians, and nurses. NovaPACS allows the end user to display, manipulate, archive, and evaluate images. Mobile devices are not intended to replace a full workstation and should be used only when there is no access to a workstation. They are not to be used for mammography or fMRI. Mobile devices are used for diagnosis of medical images from different modalities including CT, MR, US, CR/DX, NM, PT, and XA. For a list of compatible mobile platforms, see NovaPACS Diagnostic Viewer User Manual. While NovaPACS full workstation provides tools to assist the healthcare professional determine diagnostic viability, it is the user's responsibility to ensure quality, display contrast, ambient light conditions, and to confirm image compression ratios are consistent with the generally accepted standards of the clinical application. NovaPACS is intended for providing analysis and visualization of functional MRI data of the human brain, presenting derived properties and parameters in a clinically useful context.
