AMS's “PACS-in-a-BOX” products are a combination of hardware and software.
Each one is a complete PACS solution. Each is designed to handle the needs
of physician offices, clinics and imaging groups that have one to five
imaging modalities (for example, X-ray, CR, DR, Ultrasound, CT or MR).
Assuming that there is limited IT expertise at facilities of this size, AMS
has simplified its installation and training protocol to as little as one
day. Ongoing support is handled remotely via the Internet. “PACS-in-a-BOX”
solutions can be interconnected to electronic medical records systems (“EMR”)
and/or scheduling and billing systems.

IMAGE VAULT
Image Vault is a hardware/software solution that takes DICOM images (from either CD’s or your network) and organizes the images by patient name and patient ID. It will also accept images from a single modality, like the CR or DR in your office.
Image Vault is a micro-PACS. It consists of an all-in-one computer and viewing station, and includes AMS’s 4.0 Diagnostic ‘Pro’ imaging software. A wide range of diagnostic tools is available, including window/level, zoom, pan, annotation and measure. MPR (multiplanar reconstruction for CT and MR studies) is an optional upgrade.
Image Vault will store about 20,000 images. This is years of storage for many practices. An archive upgrade, if necessary, is available.

Catella3D brings advanced 3D image viewing and analysis tools for CT and MR
images to physicians' desktops at a cost-effective price.
Catella3D seamlessly integrates with all Catella diagnostic workstation
software to deliver quick, easy, flexible viewing of complex medical data in
3D.
Catella’s OrthoCAD was designed by surgeons to provide a better way to conduct procedure planning. Preoperative planning is recognized as an essential step in elective surgery and as an important component in trauma surgery.
With OrthoCAD, surgeons develop pre-operative surgery plans. OrthoCAD allows
clinical manipulation of digital orthopedic images utilizing the best in
image processing techniques,.
OsteoGram® software has been integrated in Catella PACS workstations and
digital x-ray equipment to support osteoporosis screening, diagnosis and
therapy monitoring.
Osteoporosis is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disease. One out of every
two women over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related
fracture in her lifetime. Yet many women do not realize that they are at
risk for osteoporosis until they suffer its debilitating consequences. This
software makes testing a simple process.

Handling the "gap" between an EMR or RIS system and an imaging modality is a function called "modality worklist" or MWL. The object is to take the exact patient information input at the front desk and place that information in the DICOM header so that patient records and patient images match. It also saves expensive clerical time.
To fill this gap, AMS has developed solutions to fit two situations: 1) where the EMR or RIS cannot export patient demographic information AND 2) where there is no EMR or RIS but the facility wants to create a common, consistent patient demographic database from which all of their imaging modalities can pull information.
Catella Image Gateways and Routers direct traffic throughout the PACS enterprise. Our flexible rules-based systems allow you to address special institutional needs cost- effectively. One example is the use of an image router coupled with a Catella workstation to eliminate the need for separate archives in small satellite clinics. This assures local up-time no matter the condition of the WAN, while saving tens of thousands of dollars on archive expenses.
Catella Web Server enables you to automatically and securely send images across the Internet anywhere in the world. Whether you need to have images sent to a referring physician 1,000 miles away or to an on-call doctor at 3:00 AM for a “wet read”, Catella Web Server software will give you the flexibility you need to improve overall patient care. Licensed WEB clients can also access your central archive from remote locations.
Catella CD Recorders and Labelers provide your facility with the ability to
duplicate a patient's images quickly and efficiently. These units are ideal
for providing images to referring physicians, patients and back-up needs.
We offer both a manual-loading single disk unit and a robotic multi-disk
“volume” model.
The digital radiology office needs methods for
providing complete information “packages” to the interpreting physician.
Catella Docu-Scan™ is a cost-effective solution to help you meet this need.
Important patient documents, including patient histories, reports, and lab
studies, can be integrated with the patient’s DICOM image file.
The Catella Docu-Scan station uses our exclusive one-step BatchScan™ that
allows you to automate the DICOM header creation, scan uncounted groups of
documents, and send the resulting files anywhere on your network.
Catella Scan software performs DICOM conversion and allows for selectable
instant-send destinations. The Catella Scan station incorporates our
exclusive one-step BatchScan™ that allows you to automate the DICOM header
creation, scan uncounted groups of patient films, and send the resulting
files anywhere on your network. Digitized images can also be sent over the
internet and/or directly to our Catella CD Burning Station. All images are
securely transmitted using Catella Image Armor™ (3DES encryption software).
Our
Version 4.0 features configurable screen display (single/quad), MPR,
advanced tool sets, on-screen thumbnails and more.
Choose our standard 2MP monitors or the optional 3MP monitors.
Hardware can be easily upgraded with technology changes. Industry standard
components and operating system assure reliability and ease of
administration, and minimize system obsolescence.
Since Catella workstation software is DICOM compliant, these systems can
integrate with most HL-7 HIS/RIS.
Since the passage of the Bone Mass measurement Act of 1997, Medicare coverage of biannual bone density testing has made testing a more affordable and more effective treatment option for your at risk patient population. Medicare and most private insurers cover biannual bone density testing for the following patients:
• Estrogen deficient women at risk for osteoporosis
• Men or women with vertebral abnormalities indicative of osteoporosis
• Men or women receiving long term steroid therapy
• Men or women with primary hyperparathyroidism
• Men or women being monitored to assess the response to osteoporosis drug therapy
