The OnSight 3D Extremity System performs high-quality, low-dose 3D
extremity exams using cone beam CT (CBCT) technology. In addition to
being compact and easy to install, it captures high-quality 3D images
including weight-bearing exams of lower extremities under normal load
conditions. Unlike traditional CT systems, the CBCT system has a
large-area detector that can capture a 3D image of the patient in a
single rotation, which takes only 25 seconds.

“This three-year contract will allow Vizient members the ability to
streamline workflow and productivity by capturing onsite 3D exams,
making a diagnosis and discussing treatment options with patients in a
single visit,” said Helen Titus, Carestream’s Worldwide Marketing
Director for X-ray & Ultrasound Solutions. “This workflow is also more
convenient for patients and can result in faster diagnosis and
treatment.”

“Due to the number of products and services being released and marketed
as ‘innovative,’ member hospitals truly value the thorough innovative
technology review process in place at Vizient to help them identify
products worth further evaluation at their own facilities,” said Debbie
Archer, director of procurement and leader of Vizient’s Innovative
Technology Program for suppliers. “After a full review of the OnSight 3D
Extremity System, Vizient’s member council agreed this solution offers
unique and incremental benefits over other products available on the
market today, and recommended it for an Innovative Technology contract.
We are pleased to award this new contract to Carestream Health.”

Vizient, Inc., represents the combined strengths of the organizations
formerly known as VHA Inc., University HealthSystem Consortium, Novation
and MedAssets’ Spend and Clinical Resource Management. Since 2003,
nearly 2200 new and innovative products and technologies have been
submitted through the Innovative
Technology Program. Vizient works with member-led councils and task
forces to identify and review potentially innovative products. If it is
determined that a product is innovative, a contract may be awarded
outside of Vizient’s competitive bid cycle.
