IMPAX 6.2 built on the IMPAX 6.0 foundation to deliver new mammography and user administration
features, along with some Image area enhancements.
IMPAX 6.0 and later were introduced as next-generation PACS systems. Compared with previous

• A new user interface and architecture
• Installation through a browser download
• Tighter integration with the IMPAX RIS software
• RIS information in a new Text area
• Better integration with the TalkStation and IMPAX Reporting software
IMPAX 6.0 also introduced new server components:

other IMPAX Server components

• Connectivity Manager—Replaces PACS Broker or RIS Gateway in the cluster

WorklistsSearch Wizards
A worklist is a collection of patients and their studies. For
radiologists, the worklist is analogous to a pile of film jackets.
They use the worklist to know which studies they must interpret
during a specific time period. For technologists, a worklist is a
list of the studies they must perform at specific times for each
patient.
RolesTeams
A role is a collection of users or other roles that holds
permissions and preferences as well as licensing options. For
example, a role can represent the enterprise, the institution, a
department, or a team.
