(Chicago, IL - November 29, 2009) Foresight Imaging introduces the TIMS
Collaborator & TIMS Consultant clinical imaging portal and medical video
collaboration products at the RSNA 2009 exhibition in Chicago. These
networked collaboration systems completely change the mechanism of clinical
healthcare by enabling care-giving teams the ability to connect to any
medical imaging procedure or DICOM study and communicate and collaborate to
better deliver high quality, safe, and efficient care to patients.
The TIMS Consultant is a networked system that allows physicians,
technicians, and sub-specialty consultants at various physical locations to
view and participate in a live medical or diagnostic imaging procedure.
Remote patient exams using standard or HD cameras can be transmitted using
the TIMS Consultant. Multiple medical video sources, such as endoscopy,
fluoroscopy and even 1080p HD video, with multiple clients are featured with
every TIMS Consultant installation. This includes clients both on the
hospital network and remote participants around the world. Participants in
the Consultant session can telestrate and annotate on the live video for
emphasis and training purposes.
The TIMS Collaborator is a true breakthrough product that changes the way
healthcare providers work together toward better patient outcomes. The TIMS
Collaborator provides all of the live multi-video source transmission and
multi-client viewing capabilities of the TIMS Consultant. In addition, it
allows the capture of still and motion video from any of the incoming video
streams. Further, multiple participants can share the still images and
video, and fully collaborate on the study. With the TIMS Collaborator, they
can telestrate, annotate, and mark-up the images and video with a variety of
colors, graphics, and text. The results of the collaboration session can be
saved in DICOM format and sent to any PACS system to archive a record of the
collaboration for later review and analysis. The TIMS Collaborator can
query/retrieve DICOM studies from any PACS system. These DICOM studies can
be used for full collaboration by multiple participants. The annotated
results of the collaboration may then be archived to PACS. At all times,
live video from any medical imaging source, procedure, or camera can be
viewed side-by-side with the collaborated study or shared video.
Both the TIMS Consultant & TIMS Collaborator are ideal for medical
applications such as multi-physician consulting, resident training, surgical
training, teaching, tele-mentoring, tele-medicine, peer group meetings,
tumor boards, sub-specialty consulting, monitoring, and much more. With
TIMS Consultant & TIMS Collaborator, the application possibilities are
endless.
TIMS Consultant & TIMS Collaborator are game-changers for medical imaging
and healthcare workflow as we know it today. These products allow medical
video sharing and full collaboration by all types of healthcare workers in
real-time. The result is more efficient and more effective clinical care,
said Jim Smurro, Director of Corporate Development at Foresight Imaging.
