EXA™ PACS
Picture Archiving and Communication System
Konica Minolta has deployed an entirely web based, zero-footprint, radiology software platform far superior to other PACS systems available on the market
Exa PACS offers full diagnostic toolsets and viewing capabilities from any computer. The Exa PACS features specific viewing tool sets for subspecialties like mammography, cardiology, and orthopedics.
Server-Side Rendering
Exa's server does all of the work instead of each individual workstation. DICOM data does not need to transmit to each workstation because it's done at the server. There is no prefetching required, this results in fast access to all relevant data that is desired by the physician. Server-Side Rendering enables system speed regardless of the file sizes from newer acquisition modalities. It also helps to reduce the workstation hardware technical requirements and helps extend the performance.
Zero Footprint Viewer
Offers full diagnostic toolsets and viewing capabilities from any computer. ZFP web-based design allows for immediate viewing on any computer with no downloads, plugins or installations necessary.
Dictation Integration
The truly advanced functionality of the Exa PACS platform allows for easy dictation integration with any smartphone. Open a patient study at your computer and the Exa mobile platform will sync and automatically attach the dictation from your smartphone to that same patient’s file. This eliminates the need to search through your phone for the corresponding study in order to dictate. This also eliminates the need to carry a specific USB microphone with you to each reading station.
Custom Workflow Design Engine
The order of operations for an imaging study can vary drastically from business to business. Build your workflow based on your facility needs. Choose from the drag and drop status options to design your preferred imaging workflow. The ability to define the entire process step-by-step allows for the most efficient and productive procedure. Exa is the most flexible product in its class.
Single Integrated Database
The Exa platform offers a truly integrated user experience. Since the patient chart is unified across all modules, whenever a change is made to a patient or exam record, the updated information is automatically reflected across the entire platform’s data set.
Performance Dashboards

-
Track performance metrics and workload live with an easy-to-read dashboard
