CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Dicom Systems (www.dcmsys.com), a Silicon Valley-based healthcare IT company and enterprise imaging interoperability expert, is pleased to announce their selection as Cloud VNA technology of choice by San Antonio-based teleradiology services and health IT innovation company Musculoskeletal Imaging Consultants LLC (MSKIC, LLC) (www.MSKtelerads.com).
"MSKIC, LLC created the RadCloud® platform to support the Radiology as a Service® offerings including vendor neutral image and medical information content in addition to private cloud based RIS/PACS and subspecialty teleradiology services. The RadCloud® ecosystem required a feature rich, flexible, and interoperable Enterprise Imaging workflow engine/VNA solution and Dicom Systems was a perfect match of features and flexibility," said Douglas Smith, M.D., MSKIC, LLC President. The DICOM Systems routers integrate seamlessly with the RadCloud® ecosystem using a Restful API (application programming interface) and anticipated HL7 FHIR connectivity in early 2016. "By choosing Dicom Systems as MSKIC's partner, we have established a solid foundation to gain crucial vendor neutrality, interoperability and scalability, while uniquely managing our image lifecycle management (ILM) requirements, both on-premise and cloud-based," said Dr. Smith.
With Dicom Systems' versatile and flexible platform, MSKIC, LLC is now able to:
- Normalize all images into a DICOM-conformant VNA framework (eliminate proprietary DICOM-related roadblocks),
