PACS CORE/ENCORE™ is a software device that receives digital images and data from various sources (such as, CT scanners, MR scanners, ultrasound systems, R/F units, computer and direct radiographic devices, secondary capture devices, scanners, imaging gateways, or other imaging sources). Images and data can be communicated, processed, manipulated, enhanced, stored, and displayed within the system and/or across computer networks at distributed locations. Post-processing of the images can be performed using Multi Planar Reconstruction (MPR). Lossy compressed mammographic images and digitized film screen images must not be reviewed for primary image interpretation. Mammographic images may only be interpreted using a monitor that meets technical specifications identified by FDA. Typical users of this system are trained professionals, physicians, nurses, and technicians.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
