NewVision transfers measurements from the machine, opens an organ-by-organ template with the numbers already in place, and delivers the finished report to the hospital system without a manual export step.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-cta\">\n<p><strong>High-volume list?<\/strong> The time saving compounds per study.

What does this add?<\/h3>\n<p>The PACS stores images; it does not transfer measurements from the ultrasound machine or produce a structured report. NewVision handles the measurement and reporting layer and then hands the study to the PACS.<\/p>\n<h3>Does it support general radiology beyond abdomen?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 thyroid and superficial structures, vascular Doppler, and musculoskeletal or soft-tissue documentation where the department scans them. Templates are selected per examination type.<\/p>\n<h3>Can several radiologists report from different rooms?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Capture and reporting are separate functions, so a study captured in one room is reported wherever the radiologist sits.<\/p>\n<h3>Are normal ranges built in?<\/h3>\n<p>Measurement tables carry reference values, and departments choose which published references to report against, because centres differ on this.<\/p>\n<h3>Which machines are validated?<\/h3>\n<p>GE Voluson, Canon (Toshiba) Aplio, Hitachi Arietta, and Philips and Samsung series.
