What do PACS admins say about BoneXpert?
A survey among 33 PACS administrators gives BoneXpert Server good marks
It has been said that it is hard to integrate “AI systems” in the radiology workflow. However, this is not the experience with BoneXpert Server.
A survey among PACS administrators among the 150 hospitals running BoneXpert was conducted. A total of 33 PACS administrators responded to the survey, and 75% replied that BoneXpert is easy to install, and 91% said that BoneXpert is easy to maintain.
Visiana’s flagship product BoneXpert Server is a Windows service that the PACS administrator installs on a local PC or a Virtual Machine in the PACS environment. BoneXpert Server is configured as a DICOM node for the PACS. Children’s hand X-rays are pushed to BoneXpert from a modality or from PACS. Within a few seconds, BoneXpert Server returns an annotated image including bone age measurements to the relevant patient study in PACS.
A summary of the survey is included below.
