Three Toronto hospitals contract Thinking Systems for PACS services

The Joint Department of Medical Imaging for University Health Network, Mount Sinai Hospital and Women’s College Hospital of Toronto has purchased ThinkingPACS services from St. Petersburg-based RIS and PACS developer Thinking Systems.

The multi-modality PACS offering will include Thinking Systems’ ModalityBroker, which integrates specialty modalities to the existing enterprise PACS; NuGateway, a DICOM gateway that brings nuclear medicine data from legacy scanners and workstations to PACS; and MDStation, a multi-modality PACS workstation.

The project is a joint venture of Thinking Systems and its exclusive Canadian distributor, ADN Canada.

The newly cleared offering, AutoChamber, was designed with opportunistic screening in mind. It can evaluate many different kinds of CT images, including those originally gathered to screen patients for lung cancer.
