Barco lands China display contract

Barco has landed a contract to supply PACS displays to the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in Guangzhou, South China.

As part of an IT upgrade project, the cancer center will install a large number of Nio Fusion and Coronis Fusion display systems. The large-screen displays allow physicians to visualize clinical modalities on a single diagnostic display station, without the hindering central bezel that is typical for a PACS display setup, Barco said.

The Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center is transitioning from film-based to filmless diagnostic imaging, converting completely to digital radiology. To achieve this, they will install a large number of Barco Nio Fusion and Coronis Fusion diagnostic display systems, which will help create a comfortable reading environment.  It has about 1,000 in-patient beds with more than 1,500 staff members and more than 100 senior specialists.
