Merivale Medical Imaging adopts Intelerad digital mammography PACS solution bringing the standard of care to the next level

Intelerad Medical Systems , a leader in medical imaging PACS and workflow solutions, announced that Merivale Medical Imaging (MMI) is now using the IntelePACS® Breast Imaging solution for reading and reporting of all its screening and diagnostic mammography studies.

MMI is one of the largest Independent Health Facilities in Ontario. The multi-modality clinic offers imaging services which include ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine and general radiography. MMI is accredited with the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) and is an affiliate of the Ontario Breast Screening Program.

An early adopter of digital imaging, MMI has decided to employ digital mammography, the final portion to becoming an all-digital practice. “We have been an Intelerad customer for a number of years now, and there was no doubt that we wanted to use IntelePACS for breast imaging as well,” says Dr. Bernard Lewandowski, Radiologist and Chief Executive Officer of MMI. “The Intelerad Breast Imaging module is so well integrated with IntelePACS, that reading and reporting mammography cases is extremely efficient.  Advanced layout tools, hanging protocols, and availability of priors are just some of the benefits allowing our radiologists to use IntelePACS so effectively, across all specialties.”

The IntelePACS Breast Imaging enterprise-wide licensing model frees-up radiologists from dedicated workstations and IntelePACS distributed architecture provides them with secure access to multi-modality images, wherever they are located.

“We are pleased to see that IntelePACS Breast Imaging is being broadly and readily adopted by our leading customers,” said Chris Henri, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Intelerad Medical Systems. “Digital mammography is becoming the new standard for women’s health and we are happy with our role in the success of providing the best possible care to this community”.
