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 ZĂ¼rich, Stadtspital Triemli ZĂ¼rich, 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.).
