SigmaRIS The Comprehensive Radiology Solution
Over the past few years, Sigmalogic worked closely with Radiologists, Obstetricians, Radiographers, Sonographers, and Administrative staff to develop a comprehensive solution for medical imaging practices-SigmaRIS. Taking into account the problems users face in most practices using other RIS systems, SigmaRIS deals with them effectively by using cutting edge technologies to provide a reliable, proficient, effective, and affordable Radiology Information System.
While RIS systems in general can be both very expensive and difficult to learn and use, SigmaRIS provides and incredibly economical RIS solution that is both easy to learn and enjoyable to use.

DICOM Medical Imaging & PACS Medical Imaging Software Compliance
SigmaRIS provides compliance with DICOM medical imaging software and DICOM worklist standards. Furthermore, this DICOM-enabled solution is fully supported by different types of PACS radiology systems and PACS medical imaging software, for practices already using a PACS solution. SigmaRIS has the ability to convert the tags in the DICOM medical imaging software format coming from different vendors’ equipment into usable titles in the RIS radiology system.
DICOM Worklist / Modality Work List / Modality Scheduling Solution
One of the earliest issues that plagued the progress of radiology information systems and PACS software systems integration was an issue of communication between Health Level-7 (HL7) and DICOM medical imaging software. DICOM modality work list and modality scheduling have resolved the problem. This software and hardware solution is capable of receiving HL7 communications from
Radiology Information System software solutions, then charting the data to produce DICOM medical imaging software messages for transmission to the PACS medical imaging software. This flow of work requires all facets of information – both patient and examination – produced from the Radiology Information Systems to flow to the DICOM work list / modality work list, and DICOM modality scheduling solutions.
SigmaRIS represents a dramatic advance in the technology for acquiring, distributing, retrieving, displaying and storing images. It meets the demands coming from end-users in radiology clinics and hospitals for seamless access from a single end user point.
