Agfa Solutions Advance West Virginia Hospital

Agfa HealthCare announced yesterday that it has signed a multimillion dollar deal with Thomas Memorial Hospital in South Charleston, WV, a 260-bed facility that provides a complete RIS/PACS/Reporting and CR solution. The installation includes Agfa HealthCare’s IMPAX 6.0 PACS and the newest version of the company’s reporting solution, TalkStation 3.1. It also includes six DX-S CR systems, which feature Agfa’s DirectriX needle-based detector technology and Scanhead line-to-line CR stimulation and light collection technology.
“We are eager to bring in the new Agfa HealthCare systems, beginning with the RIS project,” said Bill Lucas, PACS administrator, Thomas Memorial Hospital. “The addition of the Agfa HealthCare IT and imaging systems will make our imaging services group, which currently features a full range of services -- from radiology, bone density, digital mammography with computer aided detection, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and CT scan -- the most advanced in the region.”
