PACS has become a commodity

Everyone sells one, look below to learn more about ours!

Today the real need is to increase workflow efficiency. The key to doing this is integrating PACS with Electronic Health Records programs (EHR). For our American customers the need goes further, as any organization receiving government funds for computerizing their recordkeeping must meet a “Meaningful Use” benchmark. Integration of PACS and EHR can contribute towards meeting those goals.

Catella PACS

We started in 1996 by offering a PACS system for the private practice, clinic and regional hospital markets. We called it “PACS-in-a-BOX”. This was when only the large multinational companies offered “big iron” solutions and they claimed that distributors could never handle this sophisticated IT work.

We said, “Phooey!”

Almost twenty years later, we have just introduced version 6.0 of Catella PACS. Much has changed but the principals of simple to use, simple to install, and simple to maintain remain our.

We support installations all over the world. Though our largest concentration of users is in North America, we have customers everywhere. Some of our favorites are in Romania, American Samoa, Guam, West Indies, and the Ukraine, to name a few.

Today our Catella platform uses browser-based viewing to ease installation requirements and concurrent user licensing to give customers maximum flexibility. We offer both client-controlled (server-based) and cloud solutions.

And, of course, Catella 6.0 has built in “hooks” to connect your EHR to our PACS.

Film Digitizing

We specialize in solutions using factory refurbished VIDAR film digitizers.

It’s a long story, but not all “used” digitizers are the same. There is a lot of junk out there. We buy our units on the open market, like you. We hope to find some that don’t need to be refurbished…that can be resold as “clean and tested”. However, of the hundreds of scanners we have bought, nearly all of them have failed our quality tests when they first arrived. They have all needed extensive refurbishment.

Of the units that have been refurbished and resold, none of them have ever returned due to equipment failure.

So you can find cheaper solutions, but “buyer beware”. What you get from us will work…and we warrant that.

AMD digitizing system solutions include 1) a factory refurbished VIDAR Diagnostic Pro Advantage, 2) a new computer and monitor, and 3) a new copy of our SCAN-IT digitizing software. We also include up to two hours of remote installation and training support.

A short word about SCAN-IT. This is the most comprehensive digitizing software we have seen. In addition to being able to control both a film and paper scanner, this software will convert data from a wide variety of digital sources into DICOM files. It will also push images to almost any destination. Finally, the “dual use” version includes special features (including hanging protocols) for the proper digitizing of mammography films.
