headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. The Joint Commission-accredited
USARAD.com U.S. board-certified American Board Certified radiologists

range of imaging technology solutions to clients to facilitate
state-of-the-art reciprocal communications of images and reports.
Michael Yuz, MD, MBA, CEO of USARAD.com and WorldRad.com comments,
"Although often equipped with advanced maging technology, many areas of
Africa, the Middle East and even parts of Europe are suffering from a
shortage of radiologists qualified to read today's advanced imaging
exams. In partnership with WorldRad.com, DDA can offer reading by highly
trained radiologists in locations around the world for 24/7 service."
Martin Leger, DDA's Managing Director, comments, "Our mission is to work
with imaging centers and hospitals in Europe, Africa and the Middle East
to ensure that patients in underserved regions receive the advanced
medical care they deserve. We have created a strong infrastructure of
both human talent and technology to support these goals. Today, we are
pleased and proud to have WorldRad.com join with us to further these
goals and look forward to a long relationship with the company."
"Together, Direct Diagnostic Alliance and WorldRad.com make that service
a reality," adds Dr. Yuz. He also points out that for many hospitals and
medical practices, teleradiology can provide a cost-effective, efficient
solution keeping them up to date with the latest imaging techniques and
technologies for the benefit of their patients. Both companies will also
offer value-added services to their clients such as radiology second
opinions.
