Calgary & Infinitt launch long-term partnership

Calgary Scientific has agreed to provide health IT company Infinitt North America’s PACS with Calgary’s ResolutionMD, which will enable physicians to remotely view patient images and reports directly via internet browser.

The strategic partnership follows a long-term technology agreement signed between Calgary Scientific and Infinitt Healthcare, which is based in Seoul, South Korea. Calgary Scientific’s ResolutionMD provides radiologists and referring physicians with access to patient information, reports and images on computers and touch-screen devices, the Canadian advanced visualization product developer said.

After three years of intermittent shortages of nuclear imaging tracer technetium-99m pyrophosphate, there are no signs of the shortage abating.
