NovaRad inks PACS contracts with three U.S. hospitals

NovaRad has secured NovaPACS contracts with three hospitals in New Mexico, South Dakota and Texas for their imaging needs.

The hospitals include: Los Alamos Medical in Los Alamos, N.M.; Coteau Des Prairies Hospital in Sisseton, S.D.; and Parkview Regional Hospital in Mexia, Texas.
 
The American Fork, Utah-based NovaRad said its NovaPACS is suited for any size facility, from hospitals with fewer than 10 to more than 500 beds and single-site to multi-site freestanding imaging centers, and offers fast image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and seven-year, on-site archive with offsite emergency back-up.
