ScImage and INVIA Partnership Announced

Los Altos, CA and Ann Arbor, MI –– ScImage, Inc. and INVIA Imaging Solutions are pleased to announce their formation of a joint partnership at the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology’s 22nd Annual Scientific Session. ScImage, an industry leader in scalable web-based image and information management systems, has teamed with INVIA, an industry leader in cardiology imaging software solutions, to enable users of their PICOM365 Enterprise PACS seamless access to 4DM. Users of PICOM365 will now have access to 4DM’s advanced quantification capabilities as part of their on-premises, Cloud, or hybrid enterprise solution.

“ScImage’s comprehensive PICOM365 imaging system provides enterprise connectivity for all cardiology modalities (Echo Cardiology, Nuclear Cardiology, Stress, Holter, ECG, etc.), full EHR integration and LDAP authentication,” said ScImage’s founder and CEO, Sai Raya, Ph.D. “ScImage’s end-to-end encrypted solution delivers all clinical imaging, third-party visualization, reporting and workflow tools necessary to support remote reading and reporting allowing for access to any image, anytime.”
