Plan fracture reductions and determine ideal trauma hardware to be used for fixation with the Merge OEM suite of orthopaedic applications.

Increasing life expectancy and an aging population has created numerous new demands for the orthopaedic community. In the United States alone, there are approximately 18,000 orthopaedic surgeons. Performing a variety of complex procedures including joint replacement, spine correction and prosthetic implant surgeries, imaging tools represent key resources for this clinical specialty. While many orthopaedic surgeons still plan their procedures using grease pencils, film and acetate overlays, digital solutions for image and information management are providing new capabilities for this burgeoning clinical area.

Extending significantly beyond basic digital templating, Merge OEM’s development efforts for orthopaedics are focused on tools designed to support advanced diagnosis, automation and workflow enhancements. From stitching to image relation, image cutting and automatic reporting, Merge OEM’s capabilities represent the vanguard of digital medical imaging. Merge OEM’s emerging solutions for orthopaedics incorporate ImageSnap Technology™, a cutting-edge image processing technique that streamlines orthopaedic planning through automatic detection and measurement of anatomical structures. Furthermore, dynamic information management solutions provide support longitudinal studies, practice management and patient management.

Orthopaedic Digital Imaging Technology

Digitizing the Orthopaedic Clinic as hospitals move from film to digital imaging in the quest for improved efficiency, Orthopaedists are searching for digital imaging solutions to support their work. Merge OEM's orthopaedic solution brings advanced digital imaging technology to orthopaedics, offering image acquisition, surgical planning (local or over the web), archiving, web distribution, and OR viewing.

A Complete Digital Solution

Merge OEM's orthopaedics solutions provide a complete treatment and planning solution for orthopaedic specialists. Designed to integrate with an existing PACS solution, the components can be used throughout the orthopaedic workflow. The unique web server component enables orthopaedists to view and manipulate images from various locations, providing access to the same tools as the standalone workstation. It also provides libraries of digital orthopaedic templates.

Multiple Workflow Modules

Merge OEM’s orthopaedic solutions, designed to integrate into an existing PACS or independently, consists of three modules for a complete orthopaedic workflow solution. Implemented alone or as part of the complete solution, these components have been designed with a complete orthopaedic workflow in mind.
