Connectivity and PACS firm Merge Technologies has named Joseph Gentile director of worldwide system sales. Gentile will manage the Milwaukee, WI, firms systems solution group, which provides medical connectivity products and medical information appliances and servers. The company expects Gentiles experience as vice president of sales of IMACS Medical, which created a networked data and information management system for cardiology, to help it boost its business.
