September 15, 2009—Raleigh, NC— Citrus Orthopaedics & Joint Institute, a successful and growing orthopaedic practice in Lecanto, FL, has selected Viztek Opal-ORTHO PACS and U-ARM digital radiography (DR) solutions to implement a conversion to full digital workflow. “We selected Viztek because the company provided the best overall, integrated solution, from features to pricing. The Viztek system is easy to use and our workflow has improved significantly,” says Patrick Rodgers, RT, Imaging Manager for the five-physician, sub-specialty practice.
Prior to the Viztek installation, Citrus was utilizing film-based imaging and maintaining a time-consuming, cumbersome darkroom. “We knew a digital conversion would deliver significant savings in time and better serve our patients. Before making the purchase, Citrus conducted a formal search of the marketplace, including site visits to multiple locations. All of the orthopedists were extremely enthusiastic about their Viztek solutions,” reports Rodgers, who headed the search team.
With a reasonable price point, strong commitment to customer service and support as well as the ability to provide an integrated PACS/DR solution, Viztek emerged as the superior choice. This, combined with the Opal-ORTHO PACS’ strong orthopedic features and functionalities, led Citrus to select Viztek to implement its much-anticipated digital conversion.
Set- up, installation and implementation were streamlined. “There hasn’t been a single hiccup,” says Rogers. “All of the orthopedists, as well as the entire clinic staff, are extremely pleased with the solution. It is easy to use and makes our imaging workflow proceed like clockwork.”
Commenting on the installation, Bruce Ashby, General Manager for Viztek, says, “Viztek is pleased to bring the power of the digital age to specialty practices such as Citrus Orthopedics, which require specialized features and typically have a varying imaging volume than radiology practices. Viztek’s affordable price point and ability to deliver a turnkey solution provides major benefits to these practices, while our full-featured Opal-RAD PACS is the choice for larger radiology practices and hospitals.”
