The First HTML 5 Radiology Viewer Approved by the FDA

Review of Vue Motion Medical Image Viewer

By: Wouter Stomp, MD

 

As we recently reported, Carestream has received FDA clearance for its Vue Motion HTML 5 based medical image viewer. This is a major step forward in ensuring cross-platform availability, theoretically making it accessible from any device that has a web browser.

Although other vendors have released apps for the iPad and other tablets to access their PACS systems, Vue Motion is the first web-based viewer that we know of that can be accessed from tablets without installing additional software. We took the viewer for a spin, testing it on a variety of devices. We received access to a demo server from Carestream which had several example patients with modalities including x-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI.
