Oregon group deploys NovaPRO

Diagnostic Imaging Northwest has selected NovaPRO, Novarad’s RIS/PACS technology.

NovaPRO is designed to facilitate the receipt of DICOM images from unlimited, unaffiliated image-producing practices and ensures images and information remain separate, according to American Fork, Utah-based NovaRad. The system provides image retrieval without having to store or maintain the image files. Received images are scrubbed from the archive when the storage limit, pre-determined by the interpreting physician, is reached. However, if the storage and archiving of images and reports is required, the system is configurable to be a complete PACS, the company said.

Diagnostic Imaging Northwest is located in Tigard, Ore.
