The Irvine, Calif.-based Candelis said that the ImageGrid RT-Viewer allows access and review of both 2D and 3D images from remote workstations. The ImageGrid PACS-RT Appliance provides a scalable storage solution to accommodate a large volume of image and data files being generated by high-resolution imaging technology, according to the companies.
