Viztek Features Addition to Opal PACS Line, Opal-ORTHO Specialized for the Orthopedic Market at AAOS 2009

JACKSONVILLE, FL – (HSMN NewsFeed) - Viztek will feature Opal-ORTHO PACS, especially designed for the orthopedic market, at the 2009 AAOS (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) Annual Meeting. Opal-ORTHO PACS is the orthopedic counterpart to the enterprise level, Web-based family of Opal PACS solutions. Opal-ORTHO features the same advanced tools as the original Opal-RAD PACS, in addition to specialized features for the orthopedic surgeon.

Orthopedic practices of all sizes can benefit from the easy-to-use interface, allowing for rapid integration into practice workflow. The software features a pre-operative planning module and tools including integrated templating, distance and angle measurements, and spine labeling. Additionally, Opal-ORTHO easily integrates with most EMR platforms. VP of Sales, Steve Deaton explains, “Opal-ORTHO offers fully Web-based functionality with tools designed with the help of orthopedic surgeons specifically for this market. The highly specialized software dramatically reduces the number of clicks it takes the doctor to complete most common daily tasks.”

The most recent Opal-ORTHO installation at Dr. Jeremy Stern’s orthopedic practice in North Dartmouth, MA was bundled with Viztek’s advanced U-Arm DR. The leading-edge software coupled with the superior DR technology offers the practice workflow enhancements as well as significant improvements of image quality. Practice Manager, Karen Scott says, “The addition of Viztek’s Opal-ORTHO PACS and U-Arm DR has completely changed the way the practice functions. Our efficiency has increased tremendously and we are extremely pleased with the image quality the DR provides.”
