Agfa HealthCare has received a contract to complete the third and final stage of the HUSpacs project in Finland. As a result of the deal, Agfa will link 21 x-ray departments in the Helsinki and Uusimaa districts of Finland into one virtual department.
The departments will share one common image database, according to Agfa. The Mortsel, Belgium-based firm, which has already integrated 17 hospitals into the network, had also won the pilot and second stages of the multimillion-euro PACS project. More than a million imaging exams per year will be handled by the network, requiring approximately 20 terabytes of data, Agfa said.
