Quotes from our recent clients…

Enterprise Viewer Setting (in Hospital)

Distributed Viewer Setting (in Imaging Centre)

  • “There are 3 important requirements that I consider when evaluating an enterprise server/thin client advanced visualization solution:

  • 1) performance/scalability,

  • “We wanted to step up to a 4th generation PACS and after an exhaustive search, identified Pro Medicus as having all the things we wanted in a fully integrated next generation PACS/RIS system.

  • 2) fully featured functionality , and

  • 3) seamless integration into existing PACS workflow and applications.

It continues our strong relationship with Pro Medicus with a decision that makes both business and clinical sense for us.

  • Visage addresses these requirements impressively”

November 2009

This move puts us two years ahead of the other players”.
