IT providers combine telerad and PACS
PACS/IT vendor Emageon and teleradiology provider Virtual Radiologic showcased teleradiology products at the RSNA meeting. Emageon’s Outside Study Gateway (OSG) allows facilities to transmit PACS images to a recipient hospital’s PACS. Studies are transmitted securely across a virtual private network, with OSG software automatically performing integrity checks of the data.
