Vital Images launches online Vitrea

Vital Images, a provider of advanced visualization and analysis solutions, has launched Vitrea Web, a new exclusive solution for ViTAL Enterprise customers that provides remote access to all of its clinical applications.

The Minneapolis-based company said that its Vitrea Web provides users with access to Vital’s clinical applications via the web. With Vitrea Web, customers have the same capabilities of a standalone workstation—review, analyze and communicate findings, all from any PC.  

Existing ViTAL Enterprise customers will have the option to continue with their current strategy, or leverage the available upgrade under their maintenance and services agreement to further enhance their current investment, according to Vital.  New ViTAL Enterprise customers can scale their solution to fit the needs of their healthcare organization.
