PACSGear nets first Latin American install

PACSGear, a distributor of imaging connectivity for EHRs, has signed the Fundação Instituto de Pesquisa e Estudo de Diagnóstico por Imagem (FIDI) in São Paulo, Brazil, as its first site in Latin America.

With more than 300 physicians, FIDI is a non-profit organization that performs more than three million diagnostic imaging procedures each year. FIDI selected PACSGear’s PACS/EHR connectivity software, PacsSCAN, to complement its recent PACS and teleradiology installations, according to the Pleasanton, Calif.-based company.

The sale was completed by LogiCaribe, PACSGear’s representative in Latin America.
