The OpenMed™ Capture application is a member of the OpenMed™ Capture family of products. This application enables physicians to request remote primary and secondary diagnosis of medical images, and information in multiple specialties using a single, common workstation. The captured images and information form an integral part of the patient's multimedia Electronic Telemedicine Record (ETR).

    

OpenMed™ Capture includes support for a number of multimedia capture devices. Using a high-performance film digitizer (Laser or CCD), OpenMed™ Capture converts radiology plain film images from multiple modalities, such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound images, to digital format for transmission. Standard document scanners may be attached to provide for digitization of patient histories, medical reports, imaging requests, notes, lab results, EKG's and charts which are transmitted along with the images. In addition to radiology and document images, OpenMed™ Capture supports sound capture of 'Voice Notes' which may be used to attach requests, instructions, and queries to the ETR quickly and simply. A digital camera can be used to capture JPEG images which are then attached to the ETR while the audio capture mechanism allows transfer of audio from digital stethoscopes.

    

The standard, intuitive graphical user interface, makes capturing images, patient demographics, and study information quick and easy. To save time, the application allows for misoriented images to be flipped or rotated in one easy step, and it allows image spot magnification for quality control. It also features user-selectable priority and user-selectable compression ratio. OpenMed™ Capture allows the grouping of multiple images or document components into a single study representing them as thumbnails to ensure that all of the appropriate components are included in the study. Once cases are reported, a Case Management interface allows quick and simple display of the report at the workstation - providing an integrated solution.
