If offers you a single, intuitive interface with all functionalities available in just a few clicks. Quick previews reduce time between exposures, and help increasing throughput. The result is a lower cost per exam and faster patient experience. Read the brochure Intelligent workflow Efficient, for time savings Intuitive, for new users Dose-oriented, for patient care Hardened, for data security Frost & Sullivan white paper Fast image preview & processing Image preview starts immediately after exposure and the processed image is generated after a few seconds No window/level adjustments Image processing parameters are automatically set by MUSICA™ based on each image content, independently of body part, exposure, etc which avoids manual window/level adjustments Customized workflow User’s workflow can easily be customized, enabling a fast, smooth completion of tasks Standardized connectivity DICOM Modality Worklist standard reduces errors in the transmission of patient information and standardize the way in which patient information is exchanged between devices Remote images viewer without PACS Distribute images on almost any computer on the network, even in small private practices, to show to patients their images in the clinician’s office or the exam room Same experience across modalities A single interface for all workstations: R&F, Genrad, DR or CR Hybrid touchscreen/mouse interface Simple tasks are done with a tap on the screen, while precision work is done with the mouse e.g. guided measurements, advanced image processing User-friendly environment MUSICA workstations are equipped with Microsoft Windows OS, a familiar environment for users to get started Comfortable reading Images are surrounded by dark areas to facilitate image review Immediate performance indication The MUSICA™ workstation shows how much the exposure dose deviates from the exam reference value, on every exposure and analyzing reject statistics Dose reports for QA analysis The MUSICA™ workstation supports the IHE Radiation Exposure Monitoring (REM) profile and can create advanced reports to assess whether certain examinations or radiographers require extra training Centralized dose monitoring All MUSICA™ workstations can transmit all dose and reject records to a Central Monitoring Station Frequent vulnerabilities scanning Weekly scanning done with a vulnerability scanner trusted by tens of thousands of organizations worldwide Regular security updates Software releases include Windows hot fixes and new versions of the workstation acquisition application. In case of vulnerabilities, a risk assessment leads to additional patches whenever is necessary U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency guidances The MUSICA workstations are configured following DISA STIGS, security rules to harden Windows against misuse Secure authentication All MUSICA workstations use Windows Authentication, a secure form of authentication to verify identity, and makes it more difficult for attackers to read passwords or other credentials Data encryption Secure DICOM is supported, and sensitive information are encrypted e.g. passwords, hard disk data with Bitlocker, Interprocess Communication, etc Data integrity PHI data are only accessible & modifiable by authorized personnel and hashing techniques are used to prevent malicious data tampering Data recovery Hourly back up to restore this database in case of disk failure or power outage Upgrade your workstation Patient wristband reading Avoid patient mix-up Miscommunication can lead to exposing the wrong patient, especially for bedside exams 0 click Save time with 0 click to start an exam from the worklist Central Monitoring Station Remote data collection QA manager centralize all dose and reject reports for dose monitoring and reject analysis from any workstation, without interrupting radiographers Remote image quality control Radiographers can remotely review, edit and improves images outside the room, to avoid discussing next to the patient Portable or fixed ? Convertible laptops or fixed workstations Handheld workstation Go from room to room with the 2-in-1 laptop/tablet & easily switch between external monitors and also comfortably mix CR and DR Retrofit workflows Workstation compatible for DR and CR Allows to upgrade your CR installation for more productivity Read more in our white paper: Raising the Bar by Lowering the Dose No-compromise Digital Radiography Improves Image Quality and Keeps the Dose as Low as Reasonably Achievable: A Win-win Value Proposition for Providers and Patients <h2 class="b-cta__title h3 text-white mb-3"
