Leading solutions provider to integrate award-winning Mercury Visage PACS
into its industry-leading product offerings
CHELMSFORD, Mass., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mercury Computer
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRCY) announced a three-year agreement to provide a
range of picture archiving and communications system (PACS) solutions to
Genesis Digital Imaging, an innovative company based in Los Angeles, CA.
Genesis Digital Imaging supports distributors in the medical imaging
industry with leading-edge products and services, and will distribute
Mercury's award-winning Visage(TM) web-enabled PACS solutions under their
product umbrella Omni-WEB PACS, throughout the North American market. The
agreement with Genesis extends Mercury's strategy of providing its medical
imaging solutions to the marketplace through top-tier dealers and
distributors.
"We are excited to add Mercury's expertise in web-enabled PACS imaging
to our turnkey product offerings," stated Joseph Eliafan, President of
Genesis Digital Imaging. "We look forward to combining Computed Radiography
(CR) image capture, with web-enabled image distribution into a bundled
solution for the non-hospital market."
Genesis plans to combine the Kodak desktop CR system with the Mercury
Visage web-PACS server. The highly integrated solution will be designed to
optimize image acquisition and produce high-quality images while
significantly accelerating the radiological workflow. With Visage PACS,
medical imaging data will be accessible from any web-based client for
diagnosis and further reports; as a result, diagnostic personnel are more
productive, and patient treatment time is reduced.

Lima, Vice President and General Manager of Commercial Imaging and
Visualization at Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. "Together, Genesis and
Mercury will provide dealers and distributors in the North American
marketplace solutions with leading image quality and performance combined
