Visage Ease Pro vs ABOHNS

Using Visage Ease Pro you can view radiologic images that are stored on a Visage 7 server on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Please note that this app requires access to a Visage 7 server, e.g. in your clinic, practice, or via your radiology provider. Without access to a server, you will not be able to view any images. Visage Ease Pro provides you with immediate server-based access to DICOM images without cumbersome image transfer. Use the app for patient education and for illustrating findings in the diagnostic report. Radiology providers use the Visage 7 server in conjunction with Visage Ease Pro to provide their referring physicians with efficient access to key images as well as original images. Compared to printed film or patient CDs, the Visage 7 solution provides a much richer and much more efficient means of communication. Visage 7 is the world’s first diagnostic imaging solution based entirely on efficient thin client streaming technology. Visage scales easily from a single radiology practice to large distributed healthcare enterprises. Visage allows efficient viewing, processing, and archiving of very large amounts of images, including thin slice volumetric data from CT, MR, PET-CT, and other 3D modalities. A "Getting Started" document is available here: http://www.visageimaging.com/e-labeling INTENDED USE Visage Ease Pro is a mobile client for diagnostic image viewing of radiological images from the following modalities: X-ray, CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, Ultrasound and XA. It is based on the Visage 7 product for distributing, viewing, processing, and archiving medical images within and outside health care environments. Visage Ease Pro must only be used by trained health care professionals. It may support physicians and/or the medical staff by providing mobile access to relevant medical images. Any diagnostic or therapeutic decision resides with the doctors and/or the medical staff in their respective area of responsibility. Visage Ease Pro is not intended to replace full radiologic reading workstations. It must not be used in the context of diagnostic or therapeutic decisions if a radiologic reading workstation with appropriate display hardware is available. The user must make sure that the reading environment complies with any applicable diagnostic requirements and the state-of-the-art. Visage Ease Pro must not be used for primary image diagnosis in mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis.

The Otolaryngology Training Examination (OTE) is a closed-book, proctored, timed examination which is offered once a year. Any resident, practicing otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon, or other interested physician may register for the OTE. Purpose The OTE provides an assessment of current knowledge in all areas of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Exam results identify strengths and weaknesses. Exam scores are confidential for practitioners; resident’s scores are reported to training program directors. Residents and their program directors use the OTE to establish a baseline of specialty knowledge at the beginning of training, and to monitor changes in that knowledge over time. It is inappropriate for program directors to use this measure of resident performance as the sole form of assessment when evaluating residents for advancement. Rather, it is appropriate for program directors to use the aggregate performance of their residents when evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of their educational program.
