The updated 3G model will allow connectivity for anywhere, anytime image viewing. "Immediately after learning about the new iPad technology, CoActiv realized the potential and focused on ensuring that our complete family of EXAM-PACS solutions could make the most of it," said Ed Heere, president and CEO of CoActiv. "This reflects our philosophy of remaining in the forefront of evolving technologies. We believe the iPad will open up important new possibilities for remote image viewing for radiologists and other physicians, and CoActiv placed a priority on being the first in the industry to support it." "With this and other new mobile technologies, we believe that the radiology reading room truly has no boundaries," said Heere. "CoActiv is committed to ensuring its users reap all the benefits and flexibility of this growing trend."
