Emageon to Demonstrate New Product Developments at RSNA


BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 31 -- Emageon Inc. (NASDAQ:EMAG), a leader in enterprise medical information technology systems for hospitals and healthcare networks announced today that it will demonstrate new product developments in its booth # 6530 at the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting in Chicago, Nov. 26-Dec. 1, 2006.

Following soon after the roll-out of its new Enterprise Visual Medical System(TM) (EVMS) System Release 5.30, Emageon has added the following new features:

o Technologist QC - A native quality control tool that runs in the EVMS Advanced Visualization environment, providing a streamlined process and enabling users to correct errors before interpretation occurs. From any secure workstation located inside or outside the enterprise, a user can edit demographics, merge patients or studies, split studies, renumber images, match on Modality Worklist (MWL), correct images and more - a valuable enhancement to an already robust distributed environment.

o Personal Content Management (PCM) - A tool that goes beyond traditional
"teleradiology" in that the entire user environment is distributed throughout the enterprise rather than just the images. Users can subscribe to folders to initiate streaming of studies from selected folders, avoiding problems associated with "push-model" found in many systems. PCM stores encrypted versions of the retrieved studies locally, improving performance of the remote user's experience. This allows for simpler remote reading and, coupled with the folder based architecture, provides a useful tool for on-call reading, at-home reading and reading at remote/referring clinics. PCM is an addition to the already "engineered-for-speed" integrated workflow that EVMS provides.

o Enhanced Web Admin - A comprehensive toolset for PACS Administrators, Radiology IT and Radiology Directors. It offers a wealth of data mining capabilities with reports, configuration tools, audit logs, policy-based deletion settings, and more. The admin tool provides a simple but powerful user interface that anyone can operate from any secure workstation inside or outside the enterprise.

"These most recent updates to Emageon's EVMS System Release 5.30 represent many months of development by our engineering team in response to customer requests," said Dave Holland, Emageon's Vice President of Product Management. "Emageon prides itself in providing value to its customers and being responsive to their on-going needs and suggestions for better patient care and service to physicians. We invite industry professionals to see these and other products demonstrated at RSNA this year."
