Dulles, Virginia June 4, 2013 – IBA Molecular North America, Inc. (IBA Molecular) and MIM Software Inc. (MIM Software™) have announced an agreement to co-develop enhancements to the IBA Molecular PETLinQ™ suite of products. MIM Software will assist IBA Molecular in transitioning its PETLinQ WD image/report distribution and archival system to the MIMcloud™ platform, incorporating improvements in speed, functionality, ease of access and reliability for all users. MIMcloud is an accessible, secure and scalable online resource for storing, sharing and retrieving images and reports.

These physician support programs will continue to provide customized peer review and educational opportunities for PET interpreters, helping to develop and ensure quality and consistency. Customer support services will also be expanded for all PETLinQ products, further strengthening the customer experience. This agreement is an important part of IBA Molecular’s roll-out of a single, multi-purpose PETLinQ web portal, which will allow end users improved access from any location to the full array of online products, each designed to help develop customers’ advanced imaging programs. These products include:
- PETLinQ Image/Report Distribution
