Merge nets Fusion PACS install

Merge Healthcare has installed the Fusion PACS MX 3.0 with integrated Merge Mammo 7.10 at Washington Radiology Associates (WRA).

Clinical, professional and technical staffs within WRA’s six outpatient facilities in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, now utilize Fusion PACS MX 3.0 and the integrated Merge Mammo 7.10 for diagnostic interpretation and quality control of all modalities across all WRA facilities, according to Merge.

WRA uses both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Fusion PACS MX 3.0 and Merge Mammo 7.10, which provide identical features. The enhanced functionality of the 64-bit solution allows radiologists to consider a greater number of current and prior images during interpretation, Merge said.
