PenRad and EBM Technologies Partner to Deliver Image and Information Management Solutions for Enhanced Diagnostic Breast Imaging Workflow

MINNETONKA, Minn. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PenRad, Best in KLAS leader for Mammography Information System (MIS) technology, and EBM Technologies, leader in medical information management innovations, today expanded its partnership to deliver image and information management solutions for enhanced diagnostic breast imaging workflow. The agreement includes the PenView Complete Breast Imaging Workstation and Vendor Neutral Archive – both powered by EBM Technologies, to be offered within the PenRad product suite in the United States.

“As a long time user of both PenRad MIS and PenView, I have found it to be critical that mammography information systems, along with multimodality reading workstations, centralize interpretation, reporting, tracking, management and archiving of clinical data,” said Gary Wood, MD, Medical Director, Northwest Women’s Imaging in Tucson, Arizona. “PenRad and EBM Technologies have achieved an MIS and workstation integration that truly works in the clinical environment, allowing clinicians to focus on what’s important -- the diagnosis at hand without moving to any secondary systems.”

PenView is a complete reading software solution that streamlines efficiency, quality and economics in breast imaging. PenView can integrate breast MRI and ultrasound CAD, and full MIS reporting capabilities, enhancing interpretation, image and information management, and patient care workflow. Scaling to your workflow, PenView is a multi-modality reading solution available in tailored configurations based on your needs, from a stand-alone workstation, to an enterprise, to a distributed cloud-based solution. PenView has received IHE certification and FDA 510(k) clearance.

Vendor neutral archive (VNA), powered by EBM Technologies, provides on-demand delivery of images and data to locations throughout your enterprise, regardless of where the information is physically stored or where it originated. These capabilities streamline IT tasks and can dramatically reduce expenses.
