7 Merge PACS 6.2 september Halo native 64-bit viewer Support the viewing of DICOM SR Objects Needed for VNA integration Improved (re)launching time of embedded viewer Benefits users who are doing rounds prep from EMR Bi-directional XML support Enhanced Epic Integration to support XML drops (mark as Read form within Radiant dictation) PowerScribe 360 integration (PACS drives PowerScribe) Include an Instant Messenger for communications within PACS Important for migration of FUSION customers! Enhanced mammography skin line location algorithm Move the Teaching Work List outside the Real-Time Work List Universe

8 Merge PACS 6.3 april PET/CT Fusion Common and disparate frames of reference Supported modalities include PET, CT, NM, and MR Standard Uptake Values (SUV) supported User programmable keyboard short-cuts LDAP authentication support with automated user provisioning Merge PACS viewer able to run in low-end workstation environments Study deletion rules based on SOP class, AET, diagnostic status, and study date

9 Merge PACS 6.3 april Two modes of scrolling through priors Mode 1 -stack scrolling through the priors of a particular view in the same view port as the current view Mode 2-stack scrolling through the priors of a particular view in a view port adjacent to the current view Dual linked binoculars Dual linked magnifying glasses with ability to invert the inside of glasses Intelligent invert available as an icon and in the mouse short right click menu Hot light enhancement Needed when implants are present Display and scrolling through Tomosynthesis image slices

11 Merge PACS 6.5 q IPID Support Real-Time Study List Enhancements Fly-out panel of Quick filters; Some sample filters are: Date Range or Duration (e.g. Last 12 hours) Modality Body Part Study Status IPID Patient Class Reading Pool (CT Body, CT Neuro, etc.) DICOM Printing including true size Fly-out panel of folders containing RTWLs and saved queries PET/CT Fusion Enhancements Rotation of MIP images Manual entry of missing SUV attributes with persistence RIS Integration Bi-directional XML communication HL7 message handling

12 Merge PACS 7.0 q Tight integration between PACS and VNA Viewer loads directly from VNA Seamless integration between PACS and VNA storage Image ingestion from PACS or from VNA Global Users Preferences Administration EMPI Support Additional Real-Time Work List Enhancements Filtering based on user s credentials and licensing Enhanced Hanging Protocols Manager Mammography Enhancements IHE Profile Validation New ROI options Dual viewport zoom Enhanced Tomosynthesis Support Stack indicator

13 high availability in Merge PACS 6.3 through 7.0 VMware and Vmotion VMware with VMotion is our go-forward solution for high availability in the 6.x and 7.x branch for the Merge PACS production server Provides server clustering Merge Archive and VNA provide high availability with native clustering or VM clustering

14 end-to-end total solution Merge Competencies Meaningful Use End to EndWorkflow clinic to OR IT: Imaging backups on and offsite, hardware, installation, and support Training/consultation services great people with great knowledge at Merge! Merge as a partnership ease of use, reliability, and quality services are of the utmost importance to Merge as your vendor Maximize your ROI Take advantage of integrated offering under one vendor

15 We really like Merge PACS, and that goes for IT and clinical users across the board. In IT, we find it well integrated, and we appreciate how stable and easy to support it is. We use it with Epic Radiant, and Merge has been really good about working with our team to make sure the combination works. It does work, and we feel it is very successful. We give props to Merge for working that out; they didn't give up on it. We appreciate how robust Merge PACS is, and the strong integration it has with Epic Radiant makes everything tie in and flow together. Director, Merge Client KLAS
