The AccelaRAD, the leading software-based services provider for radiology group digital operations which encompass Web-based picture archiving and communications systems(PACS) and teleradiology technologies, announced its corporate rebranding from Neurostar Solutions, Inc. to its new name, AccelaRAD.

Neurostar Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of outsourced clinical image management solutions for radiology groups, today announced it has completed a strategic company name change to AccelaRAD. The name AccelaRAD was chosen for its ability to better describe the accelerated performance and growth possibilities for multi-site radiology groups using its innovative, outsourced virtualization service. Effective immediately, the company will begin conducting business under this new corporate name.

The AccelaRAD name change is accompanied by a new corporate logo and rollout of a new website at www.accelarad.com. The new website contains information on the capabilities offered by the AccelaRAD Virtual Radiology Network (VRN) platform and how radiology groups can address difficult challenges that include:

Traditional PACS solutions that are not optimized for a multi-site radiology model
Inability to easily scale information systems with radiology group growth
Poor or no workflow
No Internet connectivity
Expense and complexity of managing onsite hardware, applications, databases
Technology obsolescence
High-upfront capital outlay
Long, complicated implementation cycles

“The transition to AccelaRAD is a major milestone in the evolution of our company,” said Arman Sharafshahi, president of AccelaRAD. “The new name represents our commitment to delivering a technology solution that is focused on the needs of multi-site radiology groups and built based on a holistic view of the radiologist. No other solution provider in the marketplace today offers a technology product that has been specifically engineered from inception to address radiology group environments.”

AccelaRAD’s innovative VRN technology is a major step beyond picture archiving and communications systems (PACS). The AccelaRAD VRN is designed to power virtual radiology networks and is the leading platform for outsourced clinical image management and workflow solutions. Its innovative architecture and universal workflow enable imaging centers, hospitals, and physicians’ offices to share image data with a virtual community of radiologists and referring physicians, helping them expand services, productivity and referrals.

The AccelaRAD VRN is a full-featured “software as a service” offering which is completely Web-based and hosted by AccelaRAD. AccelaRAD VRN enables radiologists to communicate and handle workflow from anywhere at any time due to its unique delivery technology. It provides a single, universal enterprise work list, enabling radiologists to log on to a single Web-based interface to manage all image interpretation work, regardless of which facility or legal contracting entity the image originated from. The service combines image display, communication, workflow, management, archiving and disaster protection. It can utilize existing Internet connections to transmit images worldwide and requires minimal hardware and no client IT support.

The AccelaRAD VRN pulls images from existing imaging modalities and PACS at multiple locations through an integrated network of on- and off-site servers and makes them available to any authorized user through integrated work lists, streamlining image access and management.  For sites that do not have a PACS, the AccelaRAD VRN provides an affordable and easy-to-implement alternative to a traditional PACS.

The AccelaRAD virtualization technology provides radiology groups with opportunities for unprecedented radiologist system access and speed, bi-directional communication with clients and trading partners, referring physician convenience and clinical business expansion and financial growth.
