HeartIT offers iPhone diagnostic image capabilities

Heart Imaging Technologies, a web-based medical image management services and healthcare computing systems provider in Durham, N.C., has made its diagnostic image viewing services available via Apple’s new iPhone device.

HeartIT said capabilities of the technology will allow physicians to view diagnostic cine loops as well as images on the iPhone.
