“The new platform is the foundation of a provincial enterprise imaging strategy, which includes enabling the future storage of images from other clinical disciplines outside of the traditional areas of radiology and cardiology.” states Nova Scotia Health’s Sandra Colavecchia, Director of Enterprise Imaging, who describes how the AGFA HealthCare Enterprise Imaging Platform will benefit the delivery of care.
