Carestream secures PACS orders

Naval Medical Center San Diego has purchased a radiology and cardiology PACS and Clinical Data Archive from Carestream Health.

Carestream PACS provides clinical tools and applications that allow image review and diagnosis to occur anytime, anywhere, according the Rochester, N.Y.-based company. The platform also offers the ability to view images from a host of clinical specialties directly within the PACS workstation.

The company’s cardiology PACS consolidates disparate cardiology lab systems into a centralized technology, allowing onsite or remote reading of cardiology data from networked workstations and provides single workstation review of echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, ECG, nuclear cardiology and hemodynamic results with comparison of prior studies. Integrating Carestream PACS with Carestream cardiology PACS will allow images from both platforms to be reviewed on a single workstation, explained Carestream.

Carestream Clinical Data Archive is a vendor-neutral, enterprise-wide repository for images and patient data.
