PACS vendor Agfa HealthCare has installed three Impax PACS networks as part of a pilot PACS project at three hospitals in Switzerland. Initially, the University Hospital of Zürich, Stadtspital Triemli Zürich, and Kantonspital Winterthur will link three imaging modalities to each of the trial PACS networks.
While each PACS will function independently during the two-month pilot project stage, the hospitals plan to ultimately link them all to a digital network capable of handling storage of 14 terabytes of new data each year, according to Mortsel, Belgium-based Agfa.
Impax will be integrated with the hospital's RIS networks, and the Web-based study viewer will be integrated into three different electronic patient record (EPR) systems, according to Agfa. The complete order is valued at $4.4 million (U.S.).
