Contracts: Agfa, IntraOp, MEDITECH, TeraMedica
Agfa HealthCare inked a multimillion-dollar deal with Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston, W. Va., a 260-bed facility to provide Agfa HealthCare’s IMPAX 6.0 PACS and the newest version of Agfa HealthCare’s reporting solution, TalkStation 3.1. The agreement also includes six DX-S CR systems, which features the company’s DirectriX needle-based detector technology and Scanhead line-to-line CR stimulation and light collection technology, for improved image quality and workflow. All three of the hospital’s facilities will be connected via Agfa’s system. This includes a new imaging center called Thomas Imaging Center that is expected to open in March 2007, at which time the integrated Agfa HealthCare RIS/PACS/Reporting and CR solution will be fully implemented and operational.
