Merge eFilm is now Merge Healthcare

Merge Technologies Incorporated, historically d.b.a. Merge eFilm, has recently announced that it has changed its corporate name to Merge Healthcare. The change follows the company's recent merger with Cedara Software Corp and its subsidiary eMed Technologies.

Along with the name change, Merge Healthcare will have two operating divisions: Merge eMed, which develops, markets, and services RIS/PACS products for hospitals, imaging centers and specialty clinics; and Cedara, which focuses on developing innovative medical imaging software for the OEM and international markets.
