Cerner announced Aug. 20 the purchase of privately held Image Devices, a PACS developer based near Frankfurt, Germany. The acquisition will promote the continued development and enhancement of Cerner's PACS, while substantially increasing the Kansas City, MO, company's presence in Europe.

Additionally, its image archives are installed in more than 30 U.S. hospitals. Image Devices has been working with Cerner since 1999, developing and supplying image archive components for Cerner's ProVision PACS. The archive is a key element of Cerner's Open Image Foundation, which provides enterprise-wide image storage, according to Cerner. From now on, Image Devices will be known as "Image Devices, a Cerner company." Its PACS technology will be sold under the Cerner ProVision PACS brand name globally.
