Novarad adds Pioneer Medical Group in Cerritos and Healthpointe Medical Group Inc. in LaMirada Expanding its customer roster in California, Novarad adds Pioneer Medical Group in Cerritos and Healthpointe Medical Group Inc. in LaMirada. Both facilities purchased NovaPACS.

Selected for its web and standards-based platform, NovaPACS seamlessly integrates with the centers' existing technologies and because it is web based, offers the freedom for the radiologists to read images on and off site. NovaPACS provides radiologists with a completely mouse-driven viewer for unimpeded image viewing along with voice annotation, set synch, MIPS/MPR, advanced hanging protocols, point region of interest (ROI), measuring tools, customizable menus, saved preferences, stat reads, and check-out and e-sign.

"Since its beginning, NovaPACS has been developed by radiologists for radiologists and we have continued to add features and functionality to the technology based on input from users as to what will help them work more efficiently and effectively," said Paul Shumway, vice president of operations at Novarad. "We are working closely with the medical centers on the installation of the system and look forward to delivering upon their expectations to ease reading and improve workflow."

NovaPACS is Novarad's complete, turnkey PACS offering fast image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and 7-year on-site archive with off site emergency back up. Full screen viewing, easy to use menus and mouse-based functions are available to help enhance efficiency and referring physicians have complete access to images and reports from any computer. To complement NovaPACS, Novarad offers NovaRIS. Developed on the same platform as NovaPACS, NovaRIS generates reports, measures profitability and facilitates paperless management of patient records.
