Abstract

New advances in CT, MR, PET/CT, and SPECT imaging technology along with the successful integration of image data with non-image data are providing critical improvements to the diagnostic and reporting procedures for Cardiologists and their patients. As the benefits from these improvements continue to grow, cardiologists are now moving beyond Cardiology PACS (CPACS) to embrace the richer functionality provided by integrated Cardiovascular Image and Information Systems (CVIIS). This report will provide you with valuable insight into where hospitals stand today with respect to Cardiology PACS and their plans for future growth in this critical area.

Market Study Methodology

Sampling Frame: This report will utilize online and telephone interviews conducted in August-September 2007 with 200 cardiology/cath lab department and IT administrators from hospitals with cath labs, across the United States.
