Australian imaging chain chooses PACS from Intelerad

Intelerad Medical Systems has signed a new agreement with I-MED Network of Australia to expand IntelePACS across its chain of diagnostic imaging clinics.

I-MED Network provides diagnostic imaging services for 240 clinics in Australia and the United Kingdom. The I-MED Network performs more than 4.5 million patient exams annually, and employs 350 specialist radiologists and 50 nuclear physicians who will use Intelerad as their PACS solution, according to the Montreal-based Intelerad.

The company said its IntelePACS can centrally manage PACS for multiple sites and radiologists.
