PACS provider American Medical Sales (AMS) took orders for 21 PACS sites across the United States from its distributor network during July and August.

The Hawthorne, Calif.-based company said the orders consisted of products from both its Midas line of mid-sized PACS solutions and its PACS-in-a-Box products designed for private practices and imaging centers. Also, a number of end-users upgraded to include some of AMS' imaging tools, such as the OsteoGram bone density testing software and TraumaCad orthopedic templating software, according to AMS.
