Dutch PACS software firm Applicare Medical Imaging has posted impressive results for the first eight months of 1999. During this period, the GE Medical Systems subsidiary doubled the total installed base it had at the end of 1998, and sold 4500 RadWorks software licenses. Almost 600 hospitals and private practices in over 30 countries are now using RadWorks, according to CEO Ruud Kroon.
