Saint Lukes taps Accelarad for online image access

Saint Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Mo., has selected Accelarad's SeeMyRadiology.com as a cloud-based imaging platform to share medical images beyond the hospital.

SeeMyRadiology.com will enable Saint Luke's to transmit patient images directly from PACS to the website, where physicians within Saint Luke's 100-mile referral base will be able to access the images. The platform also enables patients to login and view their own images, according to Atlanta-based Accelarad.
