PACS firm eRAD has expanded its reach in Brazil.
Teleradiology practice Pro-Laudo has implemented the eRAD PACS with integrated reporting and speech recognition, completely localized for Brazilian Portuguese.
The practice can add a new customer facility via a Windows-based DICOM gateway, which can be downloaded and installed on a Windows machine. eRAD's DICOM gateways compress and encrypt images before sending them to eRAD's cloud server.
Persistent sending from the gateways (resending lost or interrupted data rather than a whole study) enables Pro-Laudo to meet the strict report turnaround time limit that it brought to market -- two hours or less -- and to connect new customers in a region of the world that doesn't have the most reliable telecom infrastructure, eRAD said.
Pro-Laudo has approximately 40 radiologists reading from virtual locations, for widely disparate customer sites.
