Teleradiology technology
platform has been
designed by radiologists for radiologists
Virtual Radiologic Corporation, a leading global provider of teleradiology services, has received U.S. FDA clearance for the Company's own developed Picture Communications and Archiving System (vRad PACS).
Virtual Radiologic will roll out the software to its affiliated radiologists over the next several months, gradually replacing the commercial software it currently licenses. Virtual Radiologic has over 135 contracted affiliated radiologists located across the nation who will interpret over two and a half million diagnostic images this year through its teleradiology technology and proprietary workflow platform. vRad PACS incorporates a number of features suggested by these radiologists for ease of use and reading efficiency.
"vRad PACS completes our strategy of developing our own software to precisely fit the business processes and needs of Virtual Radiologic," said Rick Jennings, chief technology officer of Virtual Radiologic. "Our teleradiology technology platform has been 'designed by radiologists for radiologists,' which we believe provides a significant competitive advantage. In addition, since we now fully control all major components of our platform, we can continue to innovate with even greater speed and flexibility."
