Agfa and Evolved: RadWeb and Impax unite

Agfa HealthCare and Evolved Digital Systems will help McKenna Memorial Hospital transport images and reports to a community of nearly 250 referring physicians.

The 132-bed acute care facility in New Braunfels, Texas, has implemented a community-wide system that will integrate RadWeb technology from Evolved to Agfa's Impax PACS-RIS. RadWeb is designed to provide physicians and radiologists access to radiology images and reports, as well as the full patient exam status.

The collaboration is part of an existing agreement between both companies.
