Viztek Enters Mobile Radiology Market

Jacksonville, FL, April 29, 2008–Jacksonville, FL-based radiology solution provider Viztek introduces fully equipped mobile imaging vehicles capable of imaging patients virtually anywhere. The spacious Honda Element comes outfitted with Viztek Opal-RAD PACS and Kodak Point-of-Care CR and is available ready to drive away.

With mobile imaging on the rise, the complete Viztek package provides radiology groups with a turnkey solution to broaden their patient base, while also making diagnostic imaging accessible in underserved areas.  Viztek’s proven image compression technology gives mobile imaging units the freedom to communicate data quickly and securely, using wireless hotspots, cellular wireless cards and satellite connections of almost any strength.

The Viztek mobile imaging vehicles can also fully support ultrasound technology. The cars are complete with Opal-MULTI-POINT (Opal-MP), comprising on-board notebook computers, pre-programmed with Viztek’s Acquire software that automatically pushes images to the radiology practice’s main Opal-RAD server.

Storing images on a central Viztek Opal server allows a radiology practice to take control of its report turn-around times.  It enables the practice to contract multiple radiologists to read exams from any location, promoting faster report returns. 

To use the technology, remote radiologists log into the Opal-RAD Web-based PACS, which downloads from the headquarters’ central server. Then they read and dictate directly into the system. The radiology practice can maintain several contracted transcriptionists around the country, who can log in remotely and transcribe exams. Contracted radiologists simply read the images, while the main radiology practice addresses all other business aspects freely, without the bottleneck of an independent radiologist using a single transcriptionist.

“This Web-based technology allows underserved medical facilities, such as remote hospitals, to get quality service with rapid turnaround time,” says Steve Deaton, Vice President of sales at Viztek.
