N.Y. facility expands e-health capabilities with Carestream

Long Beach, N.Y.-based Long Beach Medical Center has ordered a Carestream PACS, Carestream eHealth Managed Services and a Directview CR 975 System from Carestream Health.

Additionally, the 162-bed acute-care hospital signed a multi-year agreement for eHealth Managed Services to provide off-site disaster recovery services and ordered a CR 975 system to complement an existing CR 850 system, according to the Rochester, N.Y.-based company.

Carestream PACS equips users to access preferences and tools for diagnostic and clinical readings including 3D, vessel and cardiac analysis along with tools for evaluating mammography images, according to Carestream. The PowerViewer creates automatic registration and volumetric matching of 3D studies created at different times and by different modalities within the viewer used by radiologists, the company said.
