Carestream unveils new cardiology PACS

Carestream Health has released a new Web-based cardiology PACS product in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Italy.

According to the Rochester, N.Y.-based company, its cardiology PACS allows physicians to review echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, ECG, nuclear cardiology and hemodynamic results on a single workstation. The new PACS can support on-site or remote reading of cardiology data from any networked workstation.

The product also integrates with Carestream’s radiology PACS, which means the same workstation can be used for reading and review of both cardiology and radiology studies, the company said.
