Medstrat Successfully Completes 11 IDC DR Installations in Past Year
CALGARY, April 10 /CNW/ - Imaging Dynamics Company Ltd. ("IDC") (TSX: IDL), today announced the successful installation of an Xplorer 1600 digital radiography (DR) system at Kansas City Bone & Joint (Kansas City, MO) as part of a comprehensive digital imaging solution provided by Medstrat (Downers Grove, IL), an IDC strategic solutions PACS partner.
Debbie Rumple, Radiology Supervisor at the Kansas City Bone & Joint facility, states, "Our facility has realized a tremendous increase in daily throughput, we are easily able to see twice as many patients. Patients have even commented on how much they appreciate not having to lay down for exams, which can be especially difficult and painful with suspected fractures. The technologists, who had never used DR before, absolutely love how easy it is to use the system and software. Excellent training was provided and we would highly recommend this system."
"Medstrat understands the orthopedic market and the need to implement technology that increases productivity and workflow. Doctors want the ability to access their images anywhere and any time, it's not realistic to expect them to go to their radiology room to view images," said Mike Cowden, President & CEO of Medstrat. "Promoting IDC just makes sense. They consistently provide the speed, performance and price that busy orthopedic practices of all sizes demand to meet today's high patient volumes and healthcare needs. The highly automated IDC digital x-ray system provides improved image quality, streamlined workflow and decreased patient waiting time. The Medstrat PACS system allows images to be transferred electronically anywhere in the world in DICOM or JPEG format; even to a cell phone."
"Medstrat has been very successful in providing their clients the IDC DR solution and transitioning their orthopedic practice to digital with over 11 successful installations in the past 12 months," stated Rick Sbordone, Senior Vice President of IDC. "We are enthusiastic that this partnership with the Medstrat organization will continue to make in-roads in the orthopedic industry and continue expansion in this specialty market."
