SCIMAGE SELECTED AS SOLE ENTERPRISE IMAGING PROVIDER FOR VITAL HEALTH DIAGNOSTICS' RIVERSIDE FACILITY
Los Altos, CA February 13, 2003 - ScImage, a leading provider of image and information management and distribution solutions and medical imaging workstations based in Los Altos, California, announced today that it has been selected to serve as the sole image acquisition, distribution and archive solution for Vital Health Diagnostic's new Riverside facility.
Recognizing the need to provide Diagnostic Health Screening services to members of the Inland Empire community, Vital Health Diagnostics is pairing an ultra high-speed, low dose Computed Tomography (CT) scanner with the NetraMD workstation developed by ScImage to perform their LifeScreen Scan Series, CardioScreen and Virtual Colonoscopy exams. A physician-driven leader in early detection and diagnosis of potentially life threatening diseases, Vital Health Diagnostics has chosen ScImage's end-to-end screening solution to serve as the underpinning for the new facility's screening program.
"Vital Health Diagnostics is providing the Inland Empire community with a valuable service by giving residents here a means for early detection of such life threatening illnesses as Coronary Artery Disease and certain types of cancer," according to Dr. Stephen Shapiro, Founder and Chairman of Vital Health Diagnostics. "Heart disease and cancer are the number one and number two leading causes of death among Americans today. ScImage is a market leader in integrated solutions for Diagnostic Health Screening and is giving us the tools necessary to perform Diagnostic Health Screenings that can help detect these diseases early and save lives."
As part of the installation, ScImage is providing a comprehensive solution
that includes; PicomScheduler scheduling software, Patient Data Entry
System (PDES), NetraMD advanced 3D image analysis workstations, NetraDOC
reporting applications and PICOMEnterprise a storage solution that includes
telemedicine, archiving and disaster recovery functionality. "The integration
of these products gives Vital Health Diagnostics a comprehensive solution
that they can use from patient's first phone call all the way through
the screening and patient consultation process," states Sai P. Raya, Ph.D.,
Founder and CEO of ScImage. This integration will afford them unparalleled
operating efficiency."
Dr. Shapiro agrees, "Of all the vendors we reviewed, ScImage was the only provider that could give us a combined solution for patient scheduling and data capture, advanced 3D imaging tools, customizable reporting applications and a comprehensive storage and distribution solution. Other vendors could only give us pieces and expected us to modify our workflow to fit their solution. ScImage gave us a total solution that fits our business needs and our workflow."
