Vital to Demonstrate New Image Sharing Strategy

Published on:

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Images, Inc. (Vital), a Minneapolis-based advanced medical imaging and informatics company will be demonstrating new image sharing capabilities for current Vital customers. The solution allows users to share images from different types of media between providers, hospitals and patients.

“Image sharing capability is becoming a core expectation of an enterprise imaging architecture,” says Tim Dawson, VP of Technology at Vital Images. “The inefficient workflows tied to patients carrying CDs or clinicians having to physically go to different workstations are simply no longer acceptable. Too many studies are still being repeated due to missing or unavailable images at time of treatment, leading to added expense and radiation dose. Vital’s DICOMwebTM-driven Vitrea Enterprise Viewer is the perfect delivery mechanism for viewing these image sets in almost any setting, and on any device.”
