Agfa continues to solidify the integration of Sterling Diagnostic Imaging assets into its PACS and conventional imaging businesses (
PNN
8/99). Most recently, the PACS and film giant revamped its sales organization, separating the Impax digital image management and computed radiography business functions from its conventional imaging and hard-copy systems sales. Agfa also announced several key appointments to its sales teams.
John Scarano will now head up the Impax North American sales force. Those reporting to Scarano include John DeSantis, who previously directed Agfas military radiology sales and will now be responsible for Impax sales to the government; Andrea Harding, who had been responsible for western region PACS sales at Sterling and will now manage commercial Impax sales in the central and western regions; and Anthony Passarello, who was Agfas director of southeastern regional sales and will now lead Impax sales for the commercial market in the northeast and southern regions.
In the new Imaging Systems group, Bruce Gower will handle sales in the corporate healthcare sector. He was previously with Sterling as zone general manager.
