Horizon Medical Imaging Control Station
The Horizon Medical ImagingTM Control Station allows users to resolve common system issues and access study information in a convenient and efficient manner. Functionality available in Horizon Medical Imaging Control Station includes:
- Move and delete scanned documents
- Group and ungroup studies
- Resend HL7 study status notifications

Service Model with Disaster Recovery
McKesson offers a fully managed service model that provides disaster recovery with archiving in a single solution. Benefits for this solution for our radiology and cardiology customers include:
- Geographically dispersed data storage for data security and protection
- Flexible financial model to pay for only what you use
- Reduced on-premise hardware footprint
The service provides hospitals and imaging centers with a solution capable of both secure image back-up and data recoverability in the event of a disaster. By using a managed service, customers can protect and preserve vital patient data and redeploy resources previously spent on in-house archive solutions involving inefficient, manual processes based on legacy technology to patient care.
Variable Thickness Regional Intensity Projection (VTRIP)
VTRIP allows for the more efficient reading of CT and MR studies making both the technologist and radiologists more efficient by seamlessly embedding advanced viewing, image analysis and reconstruction capabilities directly into their normal workflow. It allows faster case reading times, scan to read times, and potentially, increased scanner utilization. Faster reading times are accomplished by introducing:
- Dynamic slab visualization (scan thin, read thick, vary as needed)
- Dynamic oblique multi-planar reformat (view anatomy at any angle)
- Multiple intensity projection options (AveIP, MIP, minIP)
- Automatic documentation of key findings in derived views
- MPR viewports grouped to use same W/L and zoom/pan
- Triangulation to quickly zoom to point in multiple MPR views and back
All of the above is done within the familiar HRS user interface. No longer do you need to launch external 3D viewer for these common tasks. VTRIP is available as an integral part of display protocols. Annotations, flagging, zoom/pan, etc., all work the same as with original 2D slices with little or no additional user training required.
Horizon Medical Imaging Mammography
McKesson’s industry-leading PACS radiology workstation, Horizon Rad Station™, offers a flexible solution to leverage investments already made in radiology PACS to serve the full field digital mammography domain, alleviating the need to purchase a dedicated mammography workstation. Our workstation has received FDA 510(k) clearance to offer full support for primary interpretation of digital mammography images using a traditional radiology PACS workstation.
