NovaRad announces two NovaPACS installs

Coulee Community Hospital in Grand Coulee, Wash. and Imaging Center P.C. in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands have deployed NovaRad Inc.'s NovaPACS.

Affordability was a key factor in the facilities' decision to choose NovaPACS. The system is suited for any size hospital from small, single-site facilities to multi-site national hospital and radiology center groups.

All NovaPACS systems are open and scalable, running Windows software and housed on off-the-shelf hardware. Products are brokerless so that information can be transferred from a hospital's information systems to the PACS.
