The Imaging system captures clinical images, scanned documents, electrocardiogram (EKG) waveforms, and radiology images. Image and text data are provided in an integrated manner that facilitates the clinician's and nurses task of correlating the data and making patient care decisions in a timely and accurate way. It serves five important purposes: documents findings, makes images accessible to clinicians and nurses within the hospital, assists in conference decision making and education, aids in follow-up treatment of patients and facilitates telemedicine. The captured images are extremely helpful in follow-up care. The images are real time; so waiting time is decreased and patient care decisions are sooner. With the Image system, the process flow has completely changed. There is no longer a waiting time for x-ray's or EKG's to be brought to the units for the physicians or nurses to review, they can now access and view these reports from the computer at their work stations.
成像系统可捕获临床图像、扫描文档、心电图（EKG）波形和放射影像。图像和文本数据以集成方式提供，便于临床医生和护士及时、准确地关联数据并做出患者护理决策。它有五个重要用途：记录检查结果、让医院内的临床医生和护士能够获取图像、协助会诊决策和教育、辅助患者的后续治疗以及促进远程医疗。所捕获的图像对后续护理极为有用。这些图像是实时的，因此等待时间减少，患者护理决策能更快做出。有了图像系统，流程完全改变了。不再需要等待将X光片或心电图拿到各科室供医生或护士查看，他们现在可以在工作站点通过计算机访问和查看这些报告。
