Share your expertise anytime, anywhere
Deliver rapid, seamless collaboration for the diagnostic imaging team in a fast-paced environment where every second counts
Virtualize your imaging expertise
Catalyst LIVE combines live-from-modality imaging feeds and secure video conferencing tools to allow cardiologists and radiologists to remotely participate and collaborate on imaging study acquisition and interpretation, provide consultations, engage with patient and family members, and offer expert guidance to on-site medical teams. This means that hospitals and clinics lacking full-time specialists can still benefit from top-tier diagnostic capabilities without the need for physical presence.
Image Specific Advantages
Improved Collaboration
Enable radiologists, cardiologists, technologists, and other healthcare providers to discuss exams at the point of care, regardless of their physical location.
Scalable Expertise
Healthcare organizations can scale expertise by enabling providers to extend their specialized skills to multiple facilities, particularly in underserved or remote areas. This technology bridges the gap between high-demand medical expertise and regions where access to such specialists is limited.
Higher Flexibility
Provides the departments with greater scheduling flexibility, accommodating the dynamic nature of radiology and cardiovascular staffing and practice.
Advanced Troubleshooting & Protocoling
This capability minimizes delays and reduces the likelihood of errors, ensuring that advanced imaging studies are conducted accurately and efficiently.
Leading Use Cases
-
Echocardiography & Ultrasound
-
CT/MR Acquisition
-
Structural Heart Disease
-
Any diagnostic imaging environment
- Sonographers consult with radiologists at the point of care when critical and/or undetermined findings are discovered during portable ultrasound exams.
- Live streaming of camera, audio, and ultrasound feed allows the radiologist to remotely engage and consult with the sonographer, and family members during outpatient, off-site ultrasound exams.
- Catalyst LIVE enables cardiologists to provide their expertise from any location, facilitating remote consultations and second opinions during routine and complex echocardiography exams.
- By enabling more adaptable scheduling and access to remote radiologists, imaging telepresence ensures that the diagnostic imaging department can effectively meet the demands of off-site and remote locations.
- Streamlines the diagnostic process, reducing turnaround times and increasing patient throughput, leading to higher revenue.
- Patient satisfaction is markedly improved as they receive high-quality care more quickly and conveniently. The ability to consult with specialists remotely reduces anxiety and waiting times, contributing to a smoother and more reassuring healthcare experience
CT & MRI Troubleshooting & Protocolling
- Imaging telepresence significantly enhances efficiency in advanced imaging departments by enabling cardiologists to oversee CCT & CMR studies remotely. This technology eliminates the necessity for cardiologists to be physically present in the control room, allowing them to review, troubleshoot and protocol imaging data from any location.
- With secure, on-demand access to the modality stream, providers can provide immediate feedback and guidance to technologists and other healthcare professionals.
- Scheduling becomes more adaptable, allowing departments to efficiently manage varying workloads and urgent cases.
- Allows healthcare facilities to access remote expertise, reducing the need to hire full-time advanced imaging specialists on-site.
- Radiologists and cardiologists can promptly address technical issues, optimize imaging protocols, and make necessary adjustments by communicating with the technologist and seeing the live console feed in real-time.
- This proactive approach not only improves the overall efficiency of imaging departments but also enhances patient care by reducing wait times and ensuring that imaging studies are performed correctly the first time.
Imaging Support
- Catalyst LIVE can revolutionize the workflow and efficiency of structural heart teams, particularly in the context of TEE image guidance. Traditionally, cardiologists have been required to be physically present in the procedural areas to provide real-time interpretation and guidance using TEE during complex procedures. This necessity not only ties up the cardiologist's valuable time but also limits their ability to attend to other patients and responsibilities.
- The benefits extend beyond time management. Remote participation allows for a more efficient use of resources, as cardiologists can now simultaneously oversee multiple cases or provide consultations without the downtime associated with travel.
- It also enhances collaboration, as cardiologists can easily connect with other specialists and team members, sharing insights and making critical decisions in real-time, regardless of geographical barriers.
- As our telepresence technology continues to evolve, its integration into structural heart procedures will likely become increasingly widespread, further transforming the landscape of cardiac care.
- Catalyst LIVE can be used to enable highly effective, remote collaboration in any routine or complex diagnostic imaging setting.
