Virtual Radiologic launches updated cloud-based technology

Virtual Radiologic will release its third generation of vRad Enterprise Connect, a radiology workflow software platform, in the summer. 

vRad Enterprise Connect 3.0 will include vRad’s PACS; vRad Vault, an image storage technology; a client-controlled version of technology used in vRad’s Operations Center to self-manage workload; and vRad Results for mobile and Internet access to images, reports and an instant communication link to radiologists, according to the Eden Prairie, Minn.-based company. vRad Results will issue alerts of critical findings and completed reports to ordering physicians via Apple iPhone or iPad mobile digital devices.

All of vRad’s technology is software as a service oriented and uses cloud computing, Virtual Radiologic reported. vRad Enterprise Connect is a single worklist management, reading and report generation environment that unifies different technologies into a connected radiology workflow system.
