The healthcare division of Richardson Electronics has received approval from the U.S. Veteran’s Administration (VA) Healthcare System for its new diagnostic imaging workstation platform.

The DICOM-compatible platform, which can be equipped with either Planar or Image Systems 3-megapixel grayscale displays, features a display controller card and a high performance Hewlett Packard XW9400 workstation, according to the LaFox, Ill.-based Richardson. 

The VA approved the workstation configurations for use with VistARad Patch 65 systems currently being installed throughout the entire VA system.
