Visage to provide Tufts Medical Center with thin client-based solution

Tufts Medical Center in Boston has chosen Visage Imaging, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercury Computer Systems, to provide a Visage CS Thin Client/Server system with the fully integrated Visage Cardiac Analysis Package.

The Visage CS Cardiac Analysis system integrates advanced and quantitative cardiac tools into the workflow and technology platform so that they can be accessed on all clients, making dedicated cardiac workstations no longer necessary, according to the Carlsbad, Calif.-based Visage.

The nuclear imaging isotope shortage of molybdenum-99 may be over now that the sidelined reactor is restarting. ASNC's president says PET and new SPECT technologies helped cardiac imaging labs better weather the storm.

CMS has more than doubled the CCTA payment rate from $175 to $357.13. The move, expected to have a significant impact on the utilization of cardiac CT, received immediate praise from imaging specialists.

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.
