Northeast practices tap Novarad

American Medical Imaging in Portsmouth, N.H., and Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend, Vt., have selected Novarad’s NovaPACS to outfit radiology centers.

American Medical Imaging also is installing NovaRIS. American Medical Imaging, part of American Health Centers, is a full-service diagnostic imaging provider serving doctors and hospitals throughout Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. 

NovaPACS is a web-based PACS with voice annotation set sync, MIP/MPR, advanced hanging protocols, point region of interest, measuring tools and customizable menus. NovaRIS, developed on the same platform as NovaPACS, generates reports, measures profitability and facilitates paperless management of patient records.
