FDA Approves ResolutionMD for Diagnosis on Mobile Devices
DiagnosticImaging – April 7, 2014 – The FDA has approved ResolutionMD as an enterprise image-viewing solution for diagnosis on mobile devices for most imaging modalities. The system allows doctors to securely view patient images and reports from a variety of computers and mobile devices. It also offers the ability to collaborate with other practitioners and diagnose from any location. The mobile medical diagnosis software of ResolutionMD can be integrated into any EMR and plugged into existing distributed storage systems. The FDA’s safety and effectiveness review found ResolutionMD to be substantially equivalent to PACS or dedicated diagnostic workstations.

With the drive toward integrating imaging systems across the enterprise with the EMR, deciding to replace your system, can be a challenge. Any RIS/PACS must be affordable, faster, and integrated.
