Today, Candelis, Inc. announced its plans to distribute and sell the
ImageGrid™ PACS-RT Appliance and the ImageGrid™ RT Viewer through
Siemens Healthcare’s Oncology Care Systems Business Unit.
Fully compliant with the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in
Medicine) and DICOM-RT standard, ImageGrid PACS-RT substantially
accelerates the retrieval and routing speeds of data and images between
Radiation Therapy and Oncology facilities and the referring physician.
“Cutting-edge innovations in Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) have propelled image
management, review and treatment approval into the spotlight of oncology
care,” said Holger Schmidt, CEO Oncology Care Systems (OCS). “The
ImageGrid™ RT-PACS and ImageGrid™ RT Viewer enhance OCS established
product offerings to provide oncologists, as well as staff at cancer
centers, additional flexibility with immediate access to data and images
from any workstation, which in turn enables the realization of the full
potential of technologies such as Adaptive Targeting.”
The ImageGrid PACS-RT Appliance also provides a scalable, reliable and
highly cost-effective storage solution to accommodate a growing need to
archive the large volume of image and data files being generated by
high-resolution imaging technology. “This is an innovative solution
which has already found considerable success within Radiation Therapy
and Oncology and is in use at over 50 cancer centers,” said Alex
Razmjoo, CEO, Candelis, Inc. “The ImageGrid™ PACS-RT and ImageGrid™ RT
Viewer represent a paradigm shift in radiation therapy image and data
archiving and visualization and we are pleased that Siemens will be
offering it to its customers.”
