GE Healthcare approves Matrox Xenia Series for Centricity RIS/PACS in Germany

Simplified installation, reliability, performance and broad range display support are key benefits lowering total cost of ownership

MONTREAL, CANADA / DORNSTADT, GERMANY - (HealthTech Wire / News) - Matrox Graphics Inc., the leading manufacturer of specialized graphics solutions, is pleased to announce that GE Healthcare’s IT division in Germany is recommending Matrox Xenia Series display controller boards for GE Centricity RIS/PACS workstations.

Story Highlights
  • Resolutions and formats fit well with GE’s standards-based approach for radiology workstations.
  • Triple digital display support includes forward- and backward-compatibility with a broad range of display brands.
  • 1GB of on-board memory for smooth, reliable performance, facilitates efficient diagnosis and reporting.

Widely recognized as an industry leader in image and information management, GE Centricity RIS/PACS is designed to handle the demands of high volume departments, large stand-alone hospitals, and entire hospital networks, up to the regional and even national level.  A strong commitment to improving patient care across the healthcare enterprise by enabling better, timelier decisions is coupled with GE Centricity standards-based architecture, helping healthcare providers leverage existing IT investments.

"Our evaluation of Matrox Xenia Series identified a number of strengths for Centricity PACS customers," said Juergen Reyinger, vice president and general manager at GE Healthcare IT for EMEA. "Installing one card instead of two for the classical three-monitor PACS workstation set-up accelerates deployment and also reduces potential IT support issues across multiple stations, in an environment where down-time is not an option.”

Matrox Xenia Series’ triple digital display support including forward- and backward-compatibility with a broad range of display brands, resolutions and formats, fits well with GE’s standards-based approach for radiology workstations.  Pristine image quality at resolutions ranging from under 1MP up to 8MP and new technology to enable optimum display calibration (via Matrox DLC™ and 8/10/13-bit gamma LUTs) are also key benefits.  1GB of on-board memory for smooth, reliable performance boosts overall productivity, facilitating efficient diagnosis and reporting by medical imaging professionals on any known display.

"Matrox is pleased that Centricity RIS/PACS clients in Germany now have an approved Xenia Series display controller board to power their workstations,” said George Rigas, Business Development Manager for Medical Imaging, Matrox Graphics Inc. "With flexible display support and image quality that medical imaging professionals have always relied upon, users of Xenia Series will not be disappointed with this combination.”
