Philips, Nuvodia pen PACS partnership

Royal Philips Electronics plans to work with Nuvodia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Inland Imaging Investments, to bring Philips PACS to rural hospitals, smaller institutions, imaging centers, orthopedic centers and oncology practices.

These facilities may lack the resources to purchase and maintain PACS, and the program will allow them to purchase Philips' IntelliSpace PACS on a fee-per-study basis, according to a release.

IntelliSpace PACS includes an application programming interface that allows application customization and interfacing with a hospital’s IT systems. Through the collaboration, Nuvodia’s eRadiology cloud will host and maintain the system database, and customers will have onsite image storage with access to its features through a web-deployable enterprise and diagnostic workstations.

Optionally, through IntelliSpace PACS, customers will be able to access Nuvodia’s eRadiology program, a service in which physicians can send images to specialists for consultations.
