UNIQUE GATEWAY VIEWER
FEATURE:
Electronic Forms and Report
Templates* provide a unique
and seamless integration with
Microsoft Word to our end users
with hundreds of default report
templates, structured reports (based
on RSNA Guidelines) and patient
documents. Unlike other vendors,
RamSoft has taken the extra effort
in developing this integration
to allow users to create reports
and templates without having to
contact support each time a change
is required. PowerReader has the
ability to insert key images into
the report, and has over 175 data
bookmarks available.
*Included if Report Distribution Interface option is licensed.
Sophisticated Image Manipulation Tools
Advanced Visualization includes Multiplanar
Reformatting (MPR) tools to reconstruct two-dimensional
views of a series after creating a three-dimensional volume.
Users are able to change the layout, view modes and the
viewing angle in MPR view. This value-added feature provides
radiologists with more tools to make accurate diagnoses for
referring physicians. Oftentimes, 3D is only available on a
separate 3D workstation and integration is required to do a
DICOM push. With MPR tools built in, reading physicians will
not have to disrupt their workflow to provide a final read.
This is especially important for cases that require MIP as part
of the interpretation. Allowable Slab MPR Views include MIP,
MinIP and AveIP in addition to Volume Rendering, 360 degree
rotation, curved and cross-sectional modes. Additionally, the
MPR module allows you to derive brand new image series in
any plane and Image Capture acquires an entire reconstructed
series or individual key MPR images which can be then shared
with referring physicians.
PET/CT Fusion provides the ability to view a PET series
on top of a CT series and fuse the two into a new series so
anatomical and physiological information can be viewed
simultaneously. This feature is important, for example, in
planning radiation therapy protocols for cancer patients.
Feature Rich Viewers that Meet
Your Needs.
Gateway QC Viewer and Gateway Mammo Viewer Features
The Gateway QC and Mammo Viewers offer features that will maximize resources in your fast-paced medical imaging
facility. Both models offer the enhanced functionality your facility needs to meet both present and future challenges
such as:
Full QC Capabilities are available for the technologist to use after acquiring images. During this process, a comparison to
any relevant priors can be made to identify obvious pathology. The Gateway Viewers’ PowerReader software can be used in many
different environments.
Customizable Worklist is one of the most powerful customizable worklists out in the market today. Imaging healthcare
providers have the ability to create default worklists by department, role and user without having to purchase a full RIS solution.
This feature allows you to browse through patient studies from one screen and provides up-to-date status for each, aggregating
multiple facilities into one single worklist. Each user and/or department is able to customize their worklist specific to their daily
tasks. Study documents, voice clips and dictations are also accessible from this screen with a simple click.
Built in DICOM Routing Engine provides Gateway QC and Mammo Viewer with a HIPAA compliant routing engine so
you can tailor your study routing rules to fit your schedule. The routing mechanism is so flexible you can route studies by status,
modality, facility, physicians, times, dates, AE title and many other DICOM tags. Additionally, the embedded router technology
allows you to effortlessly route prior exams along with new exams. Images stored on any DICOM compliant device can be
automatically retrieved and sent to any destination.
Viewing Protocols utilize an easy drag and drop process for setup and customization. This feature enables protocols to work
uniformly across complex multi-facility scenarios. Individual users can create custom viewing environments that automatically
match preferences for study type and hardware. Once defined, the end user never has to worry about the way images are
displayed again.
View Multiple Patients Simultaneously allows direct comparisons between different patients while keeping the users
preferences intact. This important feature also provides radiologists with the ability to view and report on high priority studies
without disrupting the study they are currently working on.
Customizable Mouse Presets are especially important for radiologists who are comfortable with a particular way of doing
things. This feature expands the radiologist’s ability to set the mouse to their preferred behavior and can mimic other image
viewers.
CD/DVD Burning & Exam Distribution is available in both the Gateway QC and Mammo viewer. Completed exams may
be burned onto CD/DVDs with Clinical Review software or transmitted through your network connection to another location.
Relevant Prior Matching is managed by user-defined rules that the system will use to pre-fetch clinically relevant priors for
studies that have arrived in the system. Studies can be pulled from multiple DICOM archives and pushed to other DICOM devices.
Audit Trails provide you with the ability to monitor user activity within the system. There are four types of audit trails: Patient,
Study, User and Print Log. These reports are used to identify which patient studies or patient data has been accessed by system
users and the actions that have been performed. Audit trails are important to monitor system security and maintain HIPAA
compliance.
Full QC Capabilities are available for the technologist to use after acquiring images. During this process, a comparison to
any relevant priors can be made to identify obvious pathology. The Gateway Viewers’ PowerReader software can be used in many
different environments.
Customizable Worklist is one of the most powerful customizable worklists out in the market today. Imaging healthcare

Gateway QC Viewer and Mammo Viewer
Optional Features
Rapid Routing is proprietary RamSoft technology that opens up additional lines of communications from the modalities to
the PACS to accelerate the transfer of study images and data over an internet connection. Rapid Routing is an economical solution
for practices that have maxed out their bandwidth or in instances, such as Teleradiology, where the timely processing of STAT
studies is crucial for diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
Custom Scriptable Routing Rules allow for custom routing and processing to be performed using almost any tag in a
DICOM object that is being received or transmitted. This can eliminate time consuming tasks that would otherwise be performed
by a QC/post-processing tech.
Reporting Options
Report Distribution* Interface automatically distributes reports to referring physicians, consulting facilities and other
facilities via auto-faxing and auto-emailing. Automatic report distribution immediately sends a preliminary or final report to your
referring physicians, which reduces the turnaround time for delivering reports and provides diagnoses to patients quicker.
Auto Report Faxing* integrations with InterFax, MyFax and ActFax provide Gateway QC and Mammo users with the option
to select a faxing solution that best fits their business needs. Automated faxing services reduce administrative tasks because
report distribution is built right into the workflow. To confirm a fax was sent, simply review the system’s Communication Logs.
Optional Peripherals
Rapid Keys Keypads allows radiologists to toggle through images and is useful for all modalities in addition to
mammography.
A tight integration with Voice Recognition Software offers practitioners added convenience and functionality for
reporting. Radiologists can dictate reports into the customizable structured templates (based on RSNA guidelines). The two
applications work seamlessly allowing for a more efficient workflow. Additionally, radiologists can also use voice commands to
navigate the PowerReader software to create a new report, select the template, fill in a structured template, and sign the report
to distribute to the referring physician. Your practice may be able to reduce your need for transcription, which speeds up the
turnaround time for reporting while reducing administrative and operating costs.
Gateway Mammo Viewer Specific Features
Gateway Mammo Viewer is an FDA approved, IHE mammography profile compliant software workstation. It
combines the mammography-specific image management and reporting tools previously available only in
dedicated mammography workstations with the flexibility of a multi-modality radiology workstation. Available as a
software only solution or a bundled 3 or 4 monitor workstation, Gateway Mammo Viewer is competitively priced so
you can get a complete workstation up and running at your site.
Four Monitor Support allows the Gateway Mammo
Viewer to support mixed-resolutions and color depths so radiologists can easily view and compare breast MRI,
mammography, and ultrasound images from a single interface
at the same time. This simplifies the radiologists reading
experience and eliminates the need to work with multiple
workstations.
Auto Size Images automatically to best fit, true size, or
pixel size regardless of the mammography unit that acquired
the images. This allows for easy comparison of current and
prior studies from different vendors including Fuji, GE, Hologic,
Konica and Siemens.
Auto Layout and Matching sorts the left and right views and matches
them to any relevant priors stored in the system for easy comparison.
Popular vertical and horizontal comparison modes are supported to enable
customization and enhance ease of use.
Flexible CAD Overlays work with any mammography package that
conforms to DICOM CAD specifications, including Hologic and iCAD. The
overlays display both calcification clusters and mass/density in tissues via
polygon and ellipse markers.
Optimized Reading utilizes enhanced window and level algorithms
to provide the greatest image quality and smoothest reading experience
possible.
System Integration allows the Gateway Mammo Viewer to work with all
mammography systems and printers. Desktop and HL7 integration is available
with mammography information systems including MagView, MRS, and
PenRad. Furthermore, MRI CAD integration is available with vendors including
Dynacad and Sentinel. RamSoft offers the most flexible integration options in
the industry, so please contact us if your integration needs are a bit different.
