Guardian, Neurostar ink co-marketing deal for RIS/PACS

Guardian Technologies International and Neurostar Solutions Inc. this week inked a co-marketing agreement to create an integrated RIS-PACS offering.  The combined system will bind specific components of Guardian's FlowPoint RIS/PACS with Neurostar's Virtual Radiology Network.

Neurostar will integrate the Guardian FlowPoint Web-based RIS into its Virtual Radiology Network (VRN) system to round out its product line with complete RIS capabilities.  As part of the agreement, Neurostar will offer the complementary RIS functions as an optional add-on to its existing installed base, as well as to new customers. 

For its part, Guardian will be integrating Neurostar's PACS image viewer into its FlowPoint offering.
