IntelliSpace Portal

IntelliSpace Portal, ideal for hospital-sized performance of up to 10 concurrent users, is designed to create smart clinical integration that often leads to enhanced patient outcomes. It is a thin-client applications server that turns virtually any PC that meets the minimal requirements into an advanced multimodality imaging system workspace that can support radiology, cardiology, oncology, neurology, orthopedics, and other specialties’ imaging needs, thereby streamlining imaging workflow. IntelliSpace Portal uses advanced networking capabilities to enable collaboration among clinicians that may ultimately lead to faster, more accurate and informed patient care. Clinicians can review the results of multiple imaging modalities - including studies acquired from multiple vendors’ imaging equipment -- at their convenience in their preferred location. Until now, the most powerful visualization workstations were housed only in the radiology department, requiring a referring physician to make a special trip to view advanced images so crucial to accurate patient diagnoses. With Intellispace Portal’s advanced networking and thin-client technologies the access to powerful visualization and image processing is significantly enhanced 

The IntelliSpace Portal offers powerful capabilities, both standard and optional. Standard capabilities include: 
• Thin-client architecture and multivendor compatibility that makes image data and applications available anywhere for all CT, MR, Nuclear Medicine images
• Guided Task workflow walks users through each processing stage from start to finish
• Use of bookmarks, interactive snapshots and other convenient tools to increase efficiencies and minimize training needs
• Unlimited number of client installs: number of concurrent users only subject to available server resources
• Multimodality Viewer for display of CT, MR and Nuclear Medicine datasets - standard
• Smart MR Viewing, smart linking, cine movie loop for MR datasets
• Multimodality Fusion: PET-CT, SPECT-CT, NM-CT, CT-CT, MR-MR and CT-MR
• Automatic Registration: PET-CT, SPECT-CT, CT-CT and MR-MR
• PET/CT Alpha blending and 2D/3D SUV calculations
• Display of multi-frame secondary captures
• 3D Volume rendering, MIP, VIP, minIP, SurfaceMIP
• Slab Review capabilities including regional investigation and curved MPR
• Volume Explorer: for instant and interactive seed-growing 3D segmentation
• “Glass View” to display bony structures in relation to 3D volumes
• Comprehensive DICOM Printing (“Filming”)
• Dual monitor support -- for color monitors.
• DICOM & IHE compliance
• Supports PACS integration 

IntelliSpace Portal proprietary technology streams display to the client over a LAN, WAN or any broadband Internet connection through the hospital’s VPN (virtual private network) without the need to download the CT, MR or Nuclear Medicine data to the client PC. 
The ‘heavy lifting’ and complex processing of the data is done on the server.
