* Web 2.0 technology enables fast delivery of imaging results to the point of care.

* URLs and standard Web Services easily integrate with any application, including Electronic Medical Records (EMR).

(RSNA 2011, Booth #8350) Today at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, Agfa HealthCare announced the introduction of a zero footprint viewer for the distribution of radiology results using browser-based technology. XERO Technology, now available for

IMPAX 6.5, improves access to radiology images and reports by enabling the delivery of patient data to the point of care with a rich, in-browser experience.

Easy integration and fast availability of patient data

XERO provides significant operational and capital expense savings by using the latest Web 2.0 technology. There are no software downloads and no additional applications or runtime environments. Through standard integration and visualization methods, XERO provides secure access to standard healthcare data on any standard operating system or browser. It receives all the information needed in real-time from the image source, so there are no data synchronization issues or additional databases or caches to manage.

"With its easy integration and fast availability of patient data, XERO Technology for IMPAX meets the needs of both IT staff and physicians," said Al Dyer, Imaging Informatics Global Business Manager, Agfa HealthCare. "We expect it to particularly be an advantage to referring physicians, finally meeting their expectation for readily available images and data."

Empowering the clinician at the point of care

XERO leverages existing IT infrastructure and authentication models for access to radiology data including nuclear medicine, orthopaedic imaging and ultrasound. XERO Technology for IMPAX can be easily integrated as a single-sign-on with any application, particularly Web portals or electronic medical records, to ease the burden associated with managing multiple user accounts. XERO inherits authentication and authorization from the systems it integrates with, such as IMPAX or an EMR. Security is further enhanced with communications encrypted and events audited.
