Image sharing is always a hassle with PACS servers so as I read this press release, the cloud services appear to have a DICOM reader embedded from GE Centricity 360 for those who 
are accessing the data who are not GE Clients. Those of course who are using the GE Centricity system would have the interface of course via the entire medical records system program. It uses a web portal.
“Centricity 360™, a GE Predictivity™ solution helps Hospital Administrators streamline clinical collaboration with unaffiliated clinicians and patients to help reduce duplicate imaging, avoid unnecessary patient transfers, lower CD distribution costs and enhance referral relationships – all with no capital investment.
It liberates affiliated and non-affiliated physicians from silos of care by fostering a clinical community where they can quickly confer on patient cases, simultaneously access patients’ images and reports and collaborate on diagnosis and treatment plans.
GE’s Centricity 360 leverages an enterprise-grade and secure cloud platform that delivers a suite of imaging applications to make data exchange, clinical analysis, and results communication easy for physicians in their care settings. GE’s Centricity 360 offers a flexible business model that allows organizations to pay for imaging services based on their consumption.
In other GE Healthcare news, they also announced a new Ultra-Fast CT Scanner that freezes the heart’s motion in one heartbeat. This week the annual Radiological Society of North America is happening so there might be additional radiology technologies and systems announced. You can read more about the Revolution CT Scanner here. The 510(k) is still FDA pending. BD
