Cleveland Clinic taps Agfa for enterprise PACS
The Cleveland Clinic has installed Agfa HealthCare’s Impax 6.5, the latest version of the software, as the network’s PACS.
The installation was part of a contract with Mortsel, Belgium-based Agfa and involved the migration of 5.6 million studies from Cleveland Clinic’s legacy system. Cleveland Clinic’s centralized imaging clinical information system is built upon the Impax Data Center, and is part of the clinic’s strategy to develop a single repository and point of access for all medical imaging data across the enterprise, according to Agfa.
Cleveland Clinic also plans to install Agfa’s Xero technology viewer as part of the enterprise image viewing strategy.
