Foresight Imaging services Panama

Foresight Imaging has recently installed 35 of its TIMS DICOM Systems for non-DICOM to DICOM conversion and PACS connectivity in Panama.

The installation, which will occur in several Panama Ministry of Health Hospitals, was sold and completed by TIMS reseller Reserma, in Panama City, Panama. The Ministry of Health Hospitals is initiating a nationwide PACS roll-out, according to Foresight. 

The Lowell, Mass.-based Foresight said TIMS was installed with a variety of modalities including fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT and nuclear medicine. During the installations, TIMS was connected to an Agfa Impax PACS, according to the company.
