Coast Radiology takes RealTimeImage iPACS

Coast Radiology and Medical Imaging has selected RealTimeImage to implement an advanced web-based PACS to provide immediate access to medical images from multiple locations.

Coast Radiology is a nine-radiologist practice based at St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, Calif. St. Mary Medical Center is part of Catholic Healthcare West, a 41-hospital medical group that delivers service throughout California and in parts of Arizona and Nevada.

The PACS also will service Suburban Hospital, Pacific Hospital and Sanger Hospital, all in California.

RealTimeImage's iPACS was sold and installed by Freedom Imaging, a southern California radiology products integrator.
