Agfa Impax integrates TomTec Image-Arena

Agfa Healthcare has signed a deal with TomTec, a provider of image analysis, reporting and data management, to integrate its Image-Arena solution into its picture archiving and communications system.

The new deal will provide Agfa’s Impax review stations with easy access to patient related data for reviewing and direct reporting.

The TomTec integration offers advanced measurement functionality and 3D and 4D processing tools for cardiac and vascular examinations.

Stefan Goerss, business manager of Agfa HealthCare’s cardiology unit in Europe, said: "The upcoming integration of TomTec’s Image-Arena will expand and strengthen our overall cardiology-related offering.

“As a leading provider of such vendor independent analysis and quantification technology in this field, TomTec will allow us to continue to pursue our promise of delivering flexible solutions to the market.”

The system will fully integrate with the Agfa Healthcare’s cardiovascular information system to provide a wide range of echocardiology systems with image review and high end analytics.

Frank Schlau, chief medical officer at TomTec Imaging Systems, said: “TomTec and Agfa HealthCare have worked together to support customer needs in the past, albeit on a regional basis.

"This agreement expands on that successful co-operation and enables both companies to blend their leading systems into a solid solution, and make it available to customers across Europe.
