Voyager Diagnostic

Voyager Diagnostic is a radiologist workstation for reviewing and reporting of images and studies. It has been designed in association with radiologists specifically for efficiency of radiologist workflow. The desktop is configurable by the user and retains the last remaining configurations for each particular user on the network, regardless of the physical station. Voyager Diagnostic can be used as a standalone station for local connection to modalities and Telerad receive, or can be part of an enterprise wide PACS network.

Standalone workstation

Voyager Diagnostic can connect directly to DICOM modalities as well as film digitizers and document scanning units, as per a Voyager Telerad station. It utilizes advanced database options allowing long term storage of images, with configurable user worklists and advanced search functions to assist users with customizing the Voyager application to their exact needs. This ensures ease of accessing studies from the most recent to long term stored images and studies that need to be accessed by the user.

The worklist may be individually configured, all via a simple and intuitive drop down menu.

PACS workstation

Voyager Diagnostic workstations are the radiologist interface to the Voyager PACS. The workstations access images stored on the PACS server (central or distributed) and these studies can be viewed, reviewed and reported. Access to the PACS network is via user login and provides security access to the system, as well as restoring the viewing protocols set previously by the user. Multiple workstations can access the PACS archive simultaneously, with concurrent reporting enabled and ensuring that studies are reported once only.

The workstation has been designed with user workflow in mind and is therefore user configurable, ensuring only the most frequently used tools are shown on the toolbar without cluttering of images.

Supporting Modules

Voyager Scanning
Scanning stations are an option that allows network users to add new studies to the network and append additional documents to studies (i.e. referral documents to images sent to PACS from DICOM modalities).

Voyager Admin
The Administration station allows radiology department users to provide system administration functions to perform corrections and modifications to studies and images that are stored on the PACS server, as well as moving studies to other devices. Functions that are enabled include; Deletion of studies/Images, User permissions and functions, editing of study details, DICOM Print, DICOM Store, Teleradiology and movement of images.

Voyager Burn
This module allows burning of patient and study data onto CD and DVD media, with a viewer for use in PC and Macintosh systems. Voyager Burn can be optioned to include use of an automated CD/DVD robot with label printing.

DICOM Modality Worklist
Provides DICOM Modalities with Worklist linked to the Radiology Information System (RIS) and the Voyager Workstation and/or PACS. This functionality provides the network with a single point of entry of patient and study details, with patient and their details picked from a worklist on the modality.
