Novarad Enhances NovaCardio®: Cardiology-First Cardiac Imaging Software That Unifies Imaging and Reporting on One Enterprise Platform
SALT LAKE CITY — Novarad®, a global leader in medical imaging and immersive augmented reality surgical navigation, announced a new release of NovaCardio® with structured reporting powered by EncaptureMD™, its cardiology-first cardiovascular imaging and reporting platform. NovaCardio is cardiac imaging software built for the full cardiology imaging workflow: a vendor-neutral, web-based platform that handles multi-modality image review and structured reporting on the same enterprise platform as the PACS. Designed from the ground up by cardiologists and sonographers, NovaCardio gives hospitals one platform for the entire spectrum of cardiac imaging, unified with the rest of enterprise imaging.
Too often, cardiology is treated as an add-on to radiology, and the cardiology imaging workflow fragments as a result: clinicians open two different systems to review a single patient's radiology and cardiology studies, customization requests take months and add cost, and legacy cardiac imaging platforms make accreditation, research, and registry submission harder than it should be. NovaCardio was built to close those gaps.
What's new in this NovaCardio release
- One enterprise platform for radiology and cardiology workflow. A Universal Image Viewer lets teams review radiology and cardiology from the same workstation, with vendor-neutral, multi-modality support across echocardiography, cardiac CT and MRI, nuclear medicine, invasive cardiology, electrophysiology, ECG, vascular ultrasound, and pediatric cardiology.
- Reporting that adapts to you. Fully customizable reporting interfaces and final reports mean the system conforms to each team's workflow — not the other way around. Measurements transfer automatically from the modality to the report to drive report creation and reduce clicks to a minimum.
- AI-enhanced. NovaCardio interfaces with AI-empowered measurement and disease-detection platforms, while smart algorithms speed structured, accreditation-ready reporting.
- Side-by-side comparisons. Teams can compare preliminary and finalized reports for quality improvement and training, and prior reports against the current study to support long-term care.
- Access anywhere. Web-based and scalable, NovaCardio is available from any computer in the facility (or remotely) all on the same platform as the PACS.
A cardiology-first platform, backed by people who speak cardiology
NovaCardio's differentiation goes beyond features. The platform is designed from the ground up by cardiologists and sonographers, and it is supported by a US-based team of physicians, clinical experts, and technical staff — people who speak both technology and cardiology. Novarad configures and maintains the system for each site, with even faster deployment for existing NovaPACS® customers, and an evergreen model that scales with the organization rather than forcing costly system overhauls.
"When you call, we answer in about 13 seconds, usually by the second ring. And the person who picks up already understands your imaging environment." — Novarad Support Team
The result is streamlined, customizable workflows, faster report turnaround, less manual data entry, and concise yet comprehensive reports that help teams stay compliant with standards organizations such as the IAC — while lowering costs through improved billing cycle time and compliance.
