University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Selects Image Systems

 Image Systems' CFS (Calibration Feedback System) and LCD Displays Chosen for
 University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Hospital and Clinical Network.  UPMC
Network Calibration and Display System to Be Demonstrated at RSNA Booth #8107.

    MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Image Systems Corporation,
a leader in PACS display solutions, announced today the initial installation
of its CFS (Calibration Feedback System) and high-resolution LCD (Liquid
Crystal Display) display systems at the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center (UPMC), an integrated health care and finance system.  Image System's
solution is specifically designed to simplify the calibration and
configuration of PACS imaging displays.
    Dr. Chang, Director of UPMC's Radiology Informatics Department, stated,
"We were impressed by Image Systems' ability to provide 'hands free,'
automated display calibration that will result in consistent quality
throughout our facility.  Image Systems' ability to monitor the luminance and
grayscale integrity at the front of the display in addition to continuously
monitoring the backlight performance gives us the highest level of DICOM
compliance confidence."
    The CFS solution provides a built-in scheduler that provides the ability,
when used with Image Systems' LCD displays, to test and calibrate displays
during off-hours without human intervention.  This test information can be
automatically archived into a central database providing a verifiable record
of compliance testing.  Image Systems' solution provides new operational
efficiencies and cost savings to PACS operators.
    Jeff Roberts, UPMC's PACS program manager, said, "Image Systems' new CFS
software will allow us to automate and centralize the entire calibration and
data archival process over our entire hospital and clinic network.  After
extensive comparisons of solutions available in the industry, we concluded
that Image Systems represents 'Best in Class' performance and value."
    "We are extremely pleased to be working with such a world renown medical
facility and their highly acclaimed staff.  Image Systems is proud to be a
part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's PACS upgrade," said Dave
Sorensen, President of Image Systems.
    Image Systems has worked closely with Richardson Electronics, an approved
Image Systems Distributor, to distribute its products and other value added
services to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
