Ryan Vemmer | | Enterprise Imaging

Current multimodality workstations are packing some power in applications, flexibility and image manipulation.

Advanced visualization is a must, with numerous software applications able to fuse and manipulate any combination of images. These tools are reaching beyond department walls, such as radiology and cardiology, with web-based capabilities that allow physicians access from just about anywhere.
