RADinfo SYSTEMS installs 3 Cardiology PowerPACS

RADinfo SYSTEMS Inc. has completed three new installations of its Cardiology PowerPACS solution. Two of the systems were installed at two Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) sites—in Houma and Lafayette, La.—with plans to install a third system next month. Cardiology Associates of Northeast Arkansas installed the PowerPACS at their Jonesboro location. RADinfo SYSTEMS provided infrastructure assessments, enterprise-wide installation, and will provide technical support for the cardiology facilities.
