InSite One scores five cardiology contracts

InSite One, a storage archive and disaster recovery service provider for the medical imaging market, has signed contracts with several cardiology sites.

The sites include: Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, Kan.; Cardiology Associates of Northwest Indiana in Munster, Ind.; Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore; Washington Hospital in Washington, D.C.; and BSG Imaging Center in Brownwood, Texas.

The large amount of data within cardiology requires products like InDex OnSite for access to archived studies, whether the exam is a 256-slice CT or a digital echo, according to Mitchell Goldburgh, senior vice president of marketing and business development.
