Carestream Health has partnered with Bayer in a deal that will integrate Bayer's Radimetrics Enterprise Platform software for radiation dose management and reporting into Carestream Health's Vue PACS/RIS.
Connecting the data from the Carestream PACS to a radiation dose management system will allow radiology facilities to view radiation levels dose delivered across all scanners in an enterprise, and it will provide detailed metrics for departments, healthcare systems, and dose registries.
Radimetrics is a vendor-neutral application and can be used across many imaging techniques to help radiologists in managing patient radiation exposure, mitigate inefficiencies, and achieve reproducible, quality studies, the firms said.
The deal launches first in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, and comes in advance of the Euratom Directive, which directs member states to establish uniform basic safety standards on ionizing radiation for occupational and medical exposure.
