The 40 new contracts signed to date during 2007 include 15 hospitals, 12 imaging centers, 11 clinics and two research labs.

"It is rewarding to continue seeing such accelerated adoption for our PACS and RIS and to deliver the performance these facilities require at a price point that they can reach," said Paul Shumway, vice president at Novarad.
