• Horizon Optical Imaging


The Horizon Optical Imaging™ solution supported by PACS is a unique product that enables clinicians to take an analog optical device, such as an endoscope, and use it as a DICOM modality to capture still and cine images. As a result, diagnostic specialists across the healthcare enterprise can digitally automate a wide array of images. McKesson’s Horizon Medical Imaging™ picture archiving and communication system (PACS ) supports image storage, archiving and viewing of all image modality types.

The Horizon Optical Imaging solution is part of McKesson’s industry leading enterprise medical imaging and information management portfolio, which provides solutions for medical imaging specialties and departments across the healthcare enterprise.
