RIS/PACS provider Viztek has installed its Opal-Rad PACS at Franciscan Hospital for Children (FHC) in Boston.

The Web-based PACS will support the hospital's remote reading group, Boston Radiology Associates (BRA), at Boston Medical Center. The Jacksonville, Fla.-based company said users can log into the Viztek Opal-Rad PACS through a customized FHC Web portal and have remote access to the Opal-RAD application and its multi-modality image archive.

FHC staff includes more than 200 physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners and relies on x-ray exams for a range of clinical applications.
