Alaska Imaging Associates has selected eRad PACS to enable a consolidated imaging workflow for the various sites which it supports with reading services.

Based in Anchorage, Alaska Imaging Associates (AIA) is contracted with several facilities to provide interpretations of diagnostic imaging studies and to perform image-guided procedures. AIA chose eRAD to scale with the growth of the practice and manage studies from multiple sites, according to a release issued by Greenville, S.C.-based eRad, a division of RadNet.

The system includes a consolidated worklist, single transcription toolset and integrated report delivery.
