Digirad and Chicago Medical Center Partner to Deliver Imaging Services
Posted on: Wednesday, 30 April 2008, 12:00 CDT
Digirad has signed a letter of agreement with the University of Chicago Medical Center to deliver cardiac diagnostic services to Chicago-area physicians and patients through Digirad's centers of influence program, which now includes seven academic medical institutions in the US.
Under the agreement, Digirad and the Medical Center will offer their respective services and expertise to primary-care physicians in the Chicago area who are seeking to expand their practices with in-office diagnostic imaging.
Through its mobile imaging services division, Digirad Imaging Solutions (DIS), Digirad will bring state-of-the-art equipment and qualified, trained personnel into physicians' offices to perform imaging procedures. Patients' images will then be interpreted by Medical Center physicians and the results sent electronically to the referring physician.
Mark Casner, CEO of Digirad, said: "This relationship promises to generate substantial benefits for patients, including the clearest and most accurate images available, readings by highly skilled specialists, and the comfort of knowing that their own doctors will remain closely involved in their care."
