Visage 7 for Imaging EconomicsZwanger-Pesiri, a medical imaging provider based on Long Island with 18 imaging centers and 58 radiologists, has signed a 5-year contract with Visage Imaging, a subsidiary of Pro Medicus Ltd. The Visage 7 enterprise imaging platform incorporates thin-client, server-side processing technology and will integrate with the practice’s existing vendor neutral archive and enterprise workflow engine. Zwanger-Pesiri will use Visage 7 as a core piece of its Deconstructed PACS enterprise imaging strategy.

“Based on the continued growth of the Zwanger-Pesiri imaging center network, and our strategic investment in the latest modalities, it was apparent that our legacy PACS could not keep up with our needs,” said Steven L. Mendelsohn, MD, CEO. “We are committed to using the most advanced technology and did an extensive review of the available systems on the market. Once we experienced what Visage 7 offered, using our own studies across our own network, it was immediately clear that this was the system for us. We see our investment in Visage as a key enabler to our future growth.”

Zwanger-Pesiri was the first private radiology practice in the United States to install a PET/MRI scanner. Since then, the practice has invested in digital breast tomosynthesis and other emerging technologies.

“This deal is strategic for us in many ways,” said Sam Hupert, MD, CEO, Visage Imaging. “Not only does it provide us with a key reference account on the US east coast, it will open up further opportunities for us in the large but fragmented US outpatient/imaging center market, a market currently undergoing a major wave of consolidation. It adds to the significant wins we have had in the US over the past 12 to 18 months, confirming our view that unlike others, we can address the entire spectrum of radiology practices.”
