The mobile and internet platform will be available in early 2013.

The Chicago-based company also is showing Merge Honeycomb; which includes cloud-based archiving and image sharing; Merge iConnect interoperability tools, including a viewer, internet gateway and vendor-neutral archive and Merge PACS.
