Carestream to market PenRads patient tracking system

Carestream Health has reached an agreement with PenRad Technologies to market PenRad’s patient tracking and mammography information system (MIS) to U.S. healthcare providers.

Minnetonka, Minn.-based PenRad’s PenTrac automates management of patient recalls and reminders, letters, statistics and Mammography Quality Standards Act reports.

PenTrac can be integrated with Carestream Health's mammography workstation, which can be connected to a PACS from Carestream Health or other vendors, according to the Rochester, N.Y.-based provider of medical imaging systems and healthcare IT software.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
