CoActiv Medical Inc, Ridgefield, Conn, will debut its ExamNet teleradiology suite at SIIM 2007.

The A&F Server receives studies from multiple modalities and automatically and securely routes them for temporary storage at an ExamNet server, from whence they may be pushed or pulled immediately to a radiologist’s local CoActiv EXAM-PACS. The hosted server’s high outgoing bandwidth increases data transmission speed. The CoActiv teleradiology system is fully customizable.
