Advanced Imaging selects ThinkingPACS

Advanced Imaging of Port Charlotte in Florida has selected Thinking System's ThinkingPACS for the management of images from their modalities that include MRI, CT, PET, SPECT and digital mammography.
   
AIPC had difficulty finding a PACS that offered advanced functionality in nuclear medicine and that supported the color display that their radiologists required.  With a thin-client, web-based architecture, ThinkingPACS should meet the practice's goal of facilitating streamlined communications with referring physicians. Although fully digital, AIPC continues to print a large volume of film for referring physicians, but hopes to convert them to digital image review over the Internet once ThinkingPACS is installed.
   
AIPC staff describes the installation of the ThinkingPACS system as smooth and well planned, with data migration form their prior PACS that did not disrupt their workflow.
