Stony Brook University Hospital Selects IntegradWeb PACS

Cites Advanced Functionality and User-Friendly, Customizable Interface

May 20, 2004, Allendale, N.J — Dynamic Imaging, LLC has been selected by Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH) in Suffolk County, N.Y., a prestigious university-based hospital offering the latest advances in medicine, to implement an innovative Web-driven PACS providing fast, efficient image communication and management throughout the enterprise as well as to worldwide authorized users.

A second-generation, fully Web-driven PACS, IntegradWeb will employ server-centric, open architecture to deliver a consistent user-friendly working environment to any Internet-enabled PC. This will allow SBUH radiologists, referring physicians and other authorized users to access the same image archive, databases and toolsets wherever they are located. Functionality will be customized for individual users and user groups.

IntegradWeb leads the industry with its advanced 3D image processing and analysis tools, which are fully integrated into the primary reading environment. The SBUH system will be deployed on the latest EMC Clariion and Centera storage platforms.

"We believe that the Web-based system provides the greatest value to our PACS Installation allowing customization and wide-ranging access to images. This results in increased productivity for radiologists and referring physicians ultimately benefiting the patient's care," said Donald Harrington M.D., Chairman of Radiology for Stony Brook University Hospital.

"We are proud to have been selected by such a prestigious institution as Stony Brook University Hospital. Dynamic Imaging is an innovator in Web-based PACS and was chosen, in part, because of IntegradWeb's advanced functionality, as well as its commitment to customizing a PACS implementation to meet a site's individual needs." said Alex Jurovitsky, CEO of Dynamic Imaging, LLC

Jurovitsky points out that SBUH was impressed by IntegradWeb's advanced 3D visualization capabilities. As SBUH's PACS partner, Dynamic Imaging helped to found a 3D Visualization Committee under the auspices of the radiology department and Stony Brook University Computer Science Department. The initiative is evaluating a range of 3D visualization concepts for usefulness in navigating large datasets and will help shape Stony Brook's future development and implementation of 3D visualization.

"Stony Brook has always had been an innovator in medical imaging and image processing. We are very excited about the opportunity to collaborate with SBUH's medical and scientific staff to forge new frontiers in the functionality of PACS," comments Jurovitsky.

IntegradWeb was selected by SBUH following a comprehensive search of major vendors that included RFPs, product demonstrations and live onsite testing. Prior to selection, IntegradWeb was evaluated in the radiology department and other hospital locations and garnered an extremely positive response.

"Dynamic Imaging's aggressive product development strategy has resulted in very impressive unique functionality which sufficiently improved our diagnostic capabilities and workflow," comments Robert Peyster, MD, Professor of Radiology and Neurology and Chief of Neuroradiology, Stony Brook University Hospital. "Our thorough evaluation of all other alternative vendors and their respective technologies has convinced us that Dynamic Imaging's IntegradWeb represents by far the best value in the marketplace."
