Fujifilm Introduces Synapse® Mobility

CHICAGO, Nov. 28, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the Radiological Society of North American Annual Meeting, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. introduced Synapse® Mobility*, a zero footprint application that enables access to Fujifilm's suite of Synapse products from hand-held mobile devices, as well as Macintosh- or Windows-based PCs.  Using the Web browser of their choice, radiologists and referring physicians can have on-the-go access to the images and information stored in Synapse® PACS, Synapse® RIS and Synapse® Cardiovascular, increasing accessibility to patient information and improving workflow.

"In today's demanding and competitive healthcare environment, clinicians need more than just soft copy data; they need instant access to complete patient information regardless of whether they're in the reading room, at the bedside during rounds, or in their homes," explains Jim Morgan, Fujifilm's Vice President, Medical Informatics. "With Synapse Mobility, Fujifilm is further enhancing the delivery of care by enabling physicians to view the same high quality, interactive images that could be seen at a Synapse workstation, but now in a convenient, readily accessible form factor."  

A differentiator of Synapse Mobility is its ability to display high quality, interactive three Dimensional images – not just static flash files – in any platform that it's accessed, including on iPads®, iPhones® and Android™ Smartphones.  This interactive feature enables images to be manipulated using the zoom, window and level, and MIP/MPR within the application, just as the physician would do at a clinical workstation.  In addition to clinical benefits, Synapse Mobility is also readily deployed because it is browser independent and scalable, providing facilities with virtually an unlimited number of users.  

A number of Fujifilm customers have already experienced Synapse Mobility, noting the numerous advantages that the application can provide to busy imaging facilities.  User feedback is being incorporated into the product as development is completed, and commercial availability is expected in the first quarter of 2011.  Once purchased by facilities, users can download Synapse Mobility at the Apple Store.
