eRad lands N.J. software installation

Atlantic Diagnostics in Tinton, N.J., has installed the web-based software from medical image management technologies provider, eRad.

According to the Greenville, S.C.-based company, the software will facilitate remote access to images by both Atlantic's reading radiologists and referring physicians. The web-based architecture supports rules-based pre-caching of images to the workstation prior to viewing, based on user-defined criteria without the need to be connected via VPN's or other dedicated network topography.
