Throughout the RSNA Show Floor
CHICAGO, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSNA Booth #1118 -- Vital
Images, Inc. (Nasdaq: VTAL), a leading provider of enterprise-wide advanced
visualization and analysis solutions, today announced the growth of its
relationships with PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems)
providers at the 92nd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), November 26-December 1. Vital
Images' partnerships with PACS providers have grown in depth and breadth,
providing customers with a more seamless enterprise-wide access to advanced
visualization and analysis solutions.
Vital Images' software technology integrated with PACS solutions has
grown to 11 partnerships. Vital Images' PACS partners at RSNA include:
McKesson, Emageon, Agfa, BRIT, Cerner, DR Systems, Dynamic Imaging,
Eclipsys, Fuji, OpenMed, and Sectra.
"Our PACS partnerships represent streamlined workflow and dataflow
solutions," said Philip I. Smith, executive vice president of corporate
development for Vital Images. "Through our commitment to expanding the
reach of our advanced visualization and analysis solutions throughout the
Enterprise, we are excited to showcase our strategic PACS relationships at
the RSNA."
"Using the integrated Vitrea software with our McKesson PACS product
has significantly impacted our high volume radiology department," said Gary
Wendt, MD, MBA, associate professor of radiology at the University of
Wisconsin, Madison. "The integration has saved us valuable time and
streamlined our workflow by eliminating the need to move from one
workstation to another to complete a study. When technology works
seamlessly, it allows us to read more efficiently and simplifies complex
technologies."
"As a result of the proliferation of 64-slice MDCT imaging, the
management of large data sets necessitates the use of enterprise-wide
advanced visualization and analysis integrated with PACS," continued Smith.
