Philips and Poudre Valley Health System Collaborate on Advanced Technologies and System Upgrades

by Barbara Kram, Editor | October 01, 2006

The hospital system will replace an existing PACS with Philips iSite, to be used by both radiologists and cardiologists throughout PVHS. Physicians will have access to diagnostic-quality images from any campus location as well as off-campus locations, such as the office or home.

Additionally, installation of the advanced Allura Xper FD 20 cardiovascular angiographic system in the operating room (OR) will allow x-ray examination of blood vessels or chambers of the heart in an environment allowing open surgical procedures, putting PVHS on the leading edge of this new trend in OR imaging system deployment.
