US Oncology installs Kodak Carestream platform

US Oncology has chosen Kodak Directview PACS System 5, a component of KODAK Carestream Information Management Solutions, as the recommended image management platform for its network of 82 community-based comprehensive cancer centers and 13 radiation-only sites, Kodak said.

Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, a Denver-based practice in the US Oncology network, installed a KODAK CARESTREAM Information Management Solution in its 13 offices and five comprehensive cancer centers throughout Colorado. It is the first US Oncology network practice to implement this system and to transition to a completely digital environment for its diagnostic and oncology imaging.
