GEMSIT also unveiled a new version of Centricity Enterprise Web, which allows for the sharing of radiology and cardiology images and report and waveform data among healthcare network providers, remote specialists and referring physicians.

The system also provides next-generation reporting capabilities for radiologists. The updated Centricity RIS-PACS follows version 2.0, which includes image and workflow support for PET-CT and digital mammography images. On the exhibit floor at RSNA 2003, GE Medical Systems Information Technologies (GEMSIT) introduced a new version of its Centricity RIS-PACS to enhance the management of images and information, including radiology and cardiology images in the single integrated system.

Providers more and more are grappling with the escalating volume of electronic patient data and access to that information from within and outside of the traditional hospital setting. Arguably, at no other time in RSNA history has information technology (IT) infiltrated radiology departments - and the whole healthcare enterprise - as it did in 2003.
