Sentara Healthcare selects Accelarad for cloud-based image exchange

Sentara Healthcare, a not-for-profit health system with sites in Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, has selected Accelarad’s cloud-based medical imaging platform, SeeMyRadiology.com, to share and store images throughout the organization’s Hampton Roads, Va., hospitals and imaging centers.

Atlanta-based Accelarad’s image exchange network is an online, social media-like medical image sharing community for healthcare organizations and physicians. The network is built on a hub-and-spoke deployment model geared toward large hospitals and health systems, according to the company. Images can be accessed through an Internet-connected computer or through Accelarad’s apps for iPhone and iPad.
