SCIMAGE TAILORS SOLUTION TO SERVE HIGH-VOLUME PRIVATE PRACTICE RADIOLOGY GROUP NATIONAL ORTHOPEDIC IMAGING ASSOCIATES
Los Altos, CA June 24, 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 completed the installation of its flagship imaging and information management solution PICOMEnterprise at National Orthopedic Imaging Associates (NOIA) in Marin California.
NOIA has selected ScImage's ForeverOnline configuration of its flagship PICOMEnterprise solution. ForeverOnline is a low-cost, high-availability solution that employs intelligent image routing to serve high-volume, centralized reading environments. This configuration of PICOMEnterprise combines a powerful multi-processor server with a highly scaleable storage solution that eliminates the wait for image retrieval by keeping everything online, thereby increasing productivity in heavy workload environments.
The Marin County, CA based private practice radiology group that serves 35 outpatient clinics in ten states in the U.S. and Singapore is using ScImage's PICOM Solution to acquire, read, store and distribute approximately 200 radiology studies per day. The installation provides visualization and worklist tools, PACS and teleradiology to this complex network of imaging centers and outpatient clinics throughout the United States and overseas.
"We reviewed and test drove several solutions before deciding to go with ScImage's ForeverOnline configuration," states Peter Osuna, Director of IT Operations. "We knew that we needed a solution that could handle the kind of volume that our practice produces. More importantly, we wanted a solution that we could tailor to our needs. ScImage addressed all of our concerns and exceeded our expectations."
National Orthopedic Imaging Associates employs nine radiologists to read primarily magnetic resonance imaging studies but also multi-detector computed tomography as well. Dr. Jay Kaiser, Founder and CEO of NOIA states, "Workflow was our biggest concern. When you are reading 200 cases per day, you cannot afford any decrease in productivity. ScImage was able to customize a solution that helped us increase our efficiency. The result is faster turn around which makes for more satisfied customers and happier employees."
