Agfa wins Saudi PACS deal

The company cut the deal with the state-owned Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) in Dhahran to install the systems over the next year at clinical sites in Ash Sharqiyah (Eastern Province). The seven sites primarily serve the local workforce of Saudi Aramco whose medical services organization generates 200,000 studies annually, constituting a data volume of 6 terabytes.
