Agfa nets Barcelona PACS install

Agfa HealthCare has signed an agreement with CETIR Grup Mèdic, a radiology provider based in Barcelona, Spain, to install its Impax PACS.

The agreement is valid for five years and includes, apart from the installation of the company's PACS, co-operation in the field of reference and testing, Agfa said.

The CETIR radiology group, which has 18 satellite sites in addition to the Barcelona headquarters, specializes in nuclear medicine and imaging diagnosis and provides radiological services for private and public hospitals and clinics.
