Enterprise-Wide Imaging Sees Substantial Growth in More Healthcare Institutions Throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa

An innovative visualization system provides effective two-dimensional (2D), 3D, and 4D images for applications addressing neurovascular, cardiovascular, and oncology disorders. Driven by intelligent automation, it utilizes an intuitive clinical workflow to optimize speed and simplicity of use, while offering a clear-cut approach to complicated data.

Vital Images, Inc. (Minnetonka, MN, USA), a Toshiba Medical Systems Group Co. (Tokyo, Japan), is continuing to expand in the Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) market with an increasing number of organizations migrating to Vital’s VitreaAdvanced enterprise solution, to help improve effectiveness, communication, and patient care.

“While Vital has more than 5,000 worldwide installations, more healthcare facilities are moving medical imaging to the enterprise to provide their clinicians with access to medical images anytime from anywhere. Our sites within EMEA have historically been workstation-based, but the trend is quickly moving towards providing instant access to the information needed to make informed decisions through Vital’s VitreaAdvanced enterprise imaging software,” said Steve Andersen, executive vice president, international business at Vital.

“It is imperative to give our clinicians the best results possible. I need to be able to show and adapt reconstructions and measurements independent of my location,” said Dr. Stefan Niehues, at Charite’ University Medical Center (Berlin, Germany). “By moving from a workstation-based solution to the VitreaAdvanced enterprise-wide solution we are able to read studies and collaborate from anywhere, including home, which improves our ability to provide efficient patient care.”

VitreaAdvanced was presented at The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Austria, March 6–10, 2014. Vital Images, Inc., a Toshiba Medical Systems Group Company (Tokyo, Japan), is a provider of advanced visualization and analysis software for physicians and healthcare specialists. The company's software provides users productivity and communication tools to improve patient care that can be accessed throughout the enterprise anytime, anywhere via the Web.
