Viztek unveils PACS product

Software developer Viztek unveiled Opal-Rad, a Web-based thin-client PACS with image streaming, at the RSNA meeting. Opal-Rad downloads applications from a central server, turning PCs into diagnostic workstations.

The value-priced system is designed for small hospitals and imaging centers, as well as orthopedists and other medical specialists. The company had been specializing in RIS products. Its latest, Onyx-RIS, can be integrated with Opal-Rad, which features advanced image viewing and manipulation tools, hanging protocols, and modality work lists.
