The suite also includes iConnect Access, a zero-download DICOM image and XDS viewer; and iConnect Share, an Internet-based gateway for image sharing.

Merge Cardio helps to integrate patient information from different sources into a centralized web-based system and enables cardiologists to have quick access to their patient’s complete cardiology file from a single point and generate a report.

St Marys Hospital Medical Center cardiologists Zhaowei Ai said the center need to have immediate access to a patient’s cardiac catheterization record to ensure to take correct medical decisions.

"With Merge’s solutions, I can see cardiac images wherever I am, be it my office or at the hospital. Having this type of access is extremely beneficial to timely and safe patient care," Ai added.
