Agfa's healthcare IT solutions meet teleradiology needs of Umbrian hospitals
In June 2005, the Ausl 2 hospital group in Umbria, Italy, launched a teleradiology network in collaboration with Agfa, which supplied all of the technologies for the digital acquisition of images and the management of images on the network, and is based on Agfa’s RIS/PACS (Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving Communications System) and CR (Computed Radiography) solutions for radiology and digital mammography systems in place at the hospital sites.
Shared regional IMPAX solution speeds up patient treatment in six Vejle County hospitals, Denmark
After one year, six Vejle County hospitals have successfully integrated a common IMPAX PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) from Agfa into their existing Radiology Information System (RIS), creating centrally-managed radiology patient records in the central-south of Jutland. This has reduced waiting times and considerably shortened time lags to start patient treatment. “Key to the success was a carefully planned and organized rollout by a team of experts from Agfa and the hospitals,” says Vejle County’s Project Manager Peter Nielsen.
Using CR technology to enhance radiology standards in Turkey
Professor Dr. Levent Çelik, of the Department of Radiology at the Turkish Maltepe University School of Medicine in Istanbul, is convinced that Computed Radiography (CR)-based mammography is the key to bringing Turkish mammography practices in line with European standards. As a consultant and a professor in radiology, he advises Turkey’s hospitals on their approaches to going digital. His particular focus is digital mammography, for which he relies on Agfa’s CR Mammography solution.

The latest objective of the partnership between the Toulouse-based Institut Claudius Regaud (ICR) and Agfa is to create a paperless, filmless working environment at the ICR by the end of 2006. As part of this major project, the Institute recently implemented Agfa’s RIS/PACS/EPR (Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving and Communication System/Electronic Patient Record) suite. “The Agfa solution is truly at the heart of our work,” says Pierre Canal, Director of the Hospital Informatics Department at the ICR.
With the deployment of an integrated RIS/ PACS solution from Agfa, the Tournai hospital center in Belgium has increased its competitiveness with improved diagnoses and greater productivity
The Centre Hospitalier Régional du Tournaisis (CHRT), in the southwest region of Belgium, is a public facility that employs around 1,000 people. With the implementation of a RIS/PACS (Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving Communications System) solution from Agfa, the CHRT has improved the quality of its diagnoses and increased the confidence of its clinicians, who can now easily access images via the WEB1000 web server. The CHRT’s radiologists appreciate the time saved and the comfort provided by the new system. "With Agfa’s RIS/PACS solution, everything flows," says Dr. de Mûelenaere, Assistant Chief Radiologist at the CHRT.
