Thinking Systems Corporation is a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications Systems) and RIS (Radiology Information System) company, providing solutions for all modalities, especially PET/PET-CT, General Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Cardiology, Ultrasound, Echocardiology, Cath Lab, etc.

Thinking Systems’ mission is to provide the best products and customer service to our customers.

Besides selling directly to end users, Thinking Systems also provides its unique PACS solutions to the leading modality and PACS vendors in the industry. Thinking Systems’ PET-CT and SPECT-CT fusion, general nuclear medicine processing and review, nuclear cardiology processing and reporting, echocardiography review and reporting, and cath lab review solutions are integrated into Philips’ iSite PACS. We are currently in the process of integrating such solutions into other major PACS vendors’ platforms to provide enterprise solutions for these modalities.

ThinkingPACS™ is part of the Thinking Systems' ThinkingNet™ product family, which is medical image management and communication system that received FDA 510(k) clearance. ThinkingPACS™ offers either turnkey or software only solutions for multi-modality archiving, workstation and Web based image review and processing, and Web based reporting.

ThinkingPACS™ is by far the most comprehensive PACS product available in the market. Besides the superior functionality it offers for conventional radiology (CT, MR, CR, DR, etc), it offers complete PACS solutions for other modalities:

    •   Archiving of all image types for Nuclear Medicine, PET/PET-CT, Ultrasound, Echocardiology, Cath Lab, etc.
    •   Nuclear Medicine and Nuclear Cardiology image display (with color and motion, of course) , processing, and          quantitative analysis
    •   Image fusion between different modalities, such as PET-CT, PET-MR, SPECT-CT, SPET-MR, CT-MR, or         among the same modalities, such as PET-PET, CT-CT, MR-MR, etc.
    •   Ultrasound and Echocardiology Image display with color and motion, plus measurement tools for linear,         angular, area, perimeter, and Doppler velocity measurements.
    •   Cath Lab image display with motion, plus visualization tools for stepping forward/backward, zoom, pan,         magnifying glass, and measurement tools for linear, angular, area, perimeter measurements.
    •   Thin-client based Web technology to provide workstation functionality over the Web to allow clinicians to
        view  and manipulate images of all modalities, and perform PET-CT fusion, Nuclear Medicine processing and          quantitative analysis, etc., from any computer connected to the Internet. It also enables clinicians across the          World to collaborate over the Web.
    •   DICOM gateways to bring raw data (not screen captures) from non-DICOM devices to PACS

ThinkingRIS™ is Thinking Systems’ Web-based RIS (Radiology Information System) product that is merged with ThinkingPACS™ (i.e., they share one single database). It offers the advantage of centralized storage for both images and patient information. ThinkingRIS™ allows clinicians or staff members to perform key tasks such as patient registration, scheduling, exam tracking, staff and resource management, report generation and distribution, etc., from any Windows computer on the network (Intranet or Internet).

ThinkingPACS™ and ThinkingRIS™ are scalable to fit the needs of institutions of all sizes, from a single-doctor practice to a large hospital.

ThinkingPACS™ and ThinkingRIS™ are based on an open architecture, using standard Microsoft Window operating systems (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, etc), and off-the-shelf hardware.

ThinkingPACS™ and ThinkingRIS™ are installed worldwide in leading hospitals, research institutes, imaging centers, and doctors offices, including Yale-New Haven Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, University of Miami, Toronto Western Hospital (Canada), Weigong Hospital (Taiwan), Oklahoma Cardiovascular Associates, Radiologix, State University of New York at Stony Brook, etc.
