Candelis, Inc., Newport Beach, Calif., and Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., Lexington, Mass., announced a partnership to enhance the image workflow, management, and storage capabilities for the ASPIRE Cristalle 3D mammography system and Persona CT computed tomography solution.
The two companies will leverage each other’s technologies and industry resources to offer a unique solution in women’s healthcare and computed tomography. Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. will now offer the Candelis ImageGrid suite of products, including ImageGrid, ImageGrid Mini, and ImageGrid Plus, with the ASPIRE Cristalle Mammography System, to improve the data management challenges created by the large amount of data generated by 3D imaging. In addition, the ImageGrid suite of products and Candelis’ ASTRA cloud storage and image transfer services will be offered with the portfolio of Fujifilm’s diagnostic imaging solutions, including the Persona CT.
Candelis and Fujifilm have partnered to design an imaging environment that will allow radiologists to overcome common productivity challenges by using scalable storage and imaging transfer solutions for high-volume and complex diagnostic workflows. The partnership will provide a tomosynthesis optimized ecosystem behind the mammography gantry to seamlessly streamline workflow in small and large enterprise environments and distributed environments where remote reading and teleradiology is part of the workflow. Accordingly, the ImageGrid products will provide pre-fetching, routing, interfacing, and archiving functionalities for the imaging environments.
