 Overcoming the Barriers to
Faster Workflow.
There are many challenges that impede radiography workflow. For example,
the time it takes to train technologists on multiple software platforms.
There are inevitable delays and disrupted workflow as your technologists stop
to switch systems or learn new system interfaces, and these can slow exam
times and contribute to the need for reshoots.

Envision all imaging systems throughout your enterprise powered by a feature-rich, single software
program. This was the inspiration for DIRECTVIEW V5 Software. The result is CR/DR harmonization
technology – ensuring that software features and functionality are consistent across all compatible systems.
This gives your productivity level a major boost, enabling you to:

• Train technologists on one platform, and know they’re ready to operate a variety of systems.

• Benefit from greater staff versatility – technologists can switch from one system to another quickly
and efficiently.

• Depend on an intuitive, easy-to-use touch-screen interface.

• Minimize repeat exams, through more consistent and uniform exam protocols.

• Resolve performance issues immediately and minimize downtime with a robust on-screen
“help” feature and extensive remote-monitoring tools.

• Custom-configure the system to fit your workflow – and to your users’ preferences.

Focus on Quality
We understand that productivity gains must never compromise your high standards for patient
care. Our software includes advanced image-quality control capabilities to ensure the overall
excellence of the radiographic images you capture, which support accurate diagnoses and
positive patient outcomes. At the same time, our image-processing technology helps reduce
noise – so you can be assured of the image quality you demand.

Security and Convenience

A reality for today’s healthcare facilities is the ever-present threat of a security breach.
DIRECTVIEW V5 Software incorporates protection features to help shield you from
unauthorized access, theft of information, violation of confidential patient records and
the potential for serious financial consequences.

We’ve also paid attention to the little things. For your convenience, this new software supports the
use of jump drives and CD/DVD – for fast and easy image export and transport.

The simplified user interface reduces the time required to complete a procedure. And the robust on-screen
help feature allows for immediate problem resolution and minimizes support time.

Support for Specialty
Applications.
DIRECTVIEW V5 CR and DR Software options can
maximize quality and productivity in these specialty
imaging applications:
Mammography
Carestream’s proprietary algorithms increase
software performance for clearer identification
of micro calcifications. Our Total Quality Tool for
Mammography boosts the versatility of CR systems,
for high performance specific to mammography or
mixed-use environments.
Pediatrics
Monitoring dose is particularly critical in pediatric
imaging. Depend on reliable measurement and
tracking with the IEC standard Exposure Index
feature to ensure you are within range. Gain
performance versatility as well, with imaging
options for seven different pediatric body types
linked to exposure techniques.
Long-Length Imaging
The software features are ideal for orthopaedic
applications. Image stitching is performed
automatically, providing seamless images in less
time – no need to manually align images. For even
greater control, use the manual stitch editor when
manual orientations are desired.

 Optional Features Complete
the Performance Picture.
Your healthcare facility is unique – with its own particular set of imaging needs.
So what combination of capabilities are you looking for? Remote data entry?
Interconnectivity between multiple CR and DR systems? Support for specialty
applications?
DIRECTVIEW V5 Software offers these options and many more. You select from
a broad menu of capabilities – giving you a custom mix of the tools you require,
with no need to pay for those you don’t. So consider this diversity of options –
then make DIRECTVIEW V5 Software exactly what you need it to be.
