Partnership to Integrate Image-Management System

Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (Chelmsford, MA, USA) has announced a partnership with Brit Systems (Dallas, TX, USA), a leading picture archiving and communications systems (PACS)/radiology information systems (RIS) company, for the integration and distribution of its image-management system.

The partnership between the companies paves the way for providing integrated high-end PACS systems, enabling a significantly faster radiologic workflow and excellent image quality for two-dimensional (2D), 3D, and 4D data. In this manner, consistent data are available throughout the entire hospital enterprise. At the click of a mouse, clinicians and radiologists can access medical data directly from the PACS for diagnosis and patient treatment.

"Brit Systems is delighted to announce our partnership with Mercury for providing advanced 3D capabilities into our Linux workstation,” said Shelly Fisher, President of Brit Systems. "Through the use of a Linux client, Mercury's powerful 3D tools will become an integrated part of our top-end workstation. This provides our application with a tremendous increase in capabilities for supporting features such as cardiac scoring and virtual colonoscopy. Plus, these features can also be made available on our Windows platforms for referring physicians.”

Under the agreement, Brit Systems will integrate the Mercury Visage PACS and Visage CS Thin Client Server in its Roentgen RIS radiology information system. Brit can therefore provide its customers an extended product range covering clinical applications in cardiology, positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT), surgery, and orthopedics, and 3D tools.

Furthermore, Mercury will also provide professional services to Brit to provide fast time-to-market turnkey systems for clinics and healthcare institutions.

BRIT Systems is a technology company that provides custom, turnkey systems for PACS and teleradiology. Mercury Computer Systems is a provider of computing systems and software for data-intensive applications that include image processing, signal processing, and visualization.
