| Horizon Study Share, including the medical imaging reference site MyPACS.net, is a Web-based solution that enables radiologists, cardiologists, and other imaging specialists efficiently organise and share images and reference case information needed during daily practice. Horizon Study Share extends current hospital imaging and information management systems with reference case management and clinical conferencing capabilities that result in rich, multimedia knowledge repositories to assist in diagnostics as well as research and training. It enables imaging specialists to leverage the wealth of information inherent in their image archives and provides a more efficient mechanism for sharing knowledge. Horizon Study Share addresses four key functions: - Teaching File Management
- Rounds and Conferences
- Diagnostic Decision Support
- Sharing Cases with Colleagues
Teaching Files Horizon Study Share empowers radiologists to quickly create and share Web-based teaching files directly from PACS. Users can send key images to be included in teaching files with its DICOM attributes automatically parsed. Rounds and Conferences Horizon Study Share saves radiologists hours per week preparing for conferences. Users can send cases directly from PACS to Horizon Study Share for inclusion in weekly conferences with no laborintensive preparation required. PowerPoint is automatically generated, optimized for step-wise presentation of history, findings, and key images. This is ideal for tumor boards and interdepartmental use, handling both DICOM and non-DICOM images. Diagnostic Decision Support Horizon Study Share helps reduce diagnostic errors by providing instant access to an ever-growing library of 50,000 diagnostic reference images, augmented with comments and discussions by thousands of radiologists.
