Visbion's image management technology installed in GP Practice

Visbion’s technology is being employed by The Grange Medical Centre to store, transfer and display X-ray images taken in the imaging suite at the GP practice in Hemsworth, West Yorkshire.

Visbion’s solution enables double reporting of the images within 24hours, by the radiographer on-site and by a radiologist who can access the images using Visbion’s web based Tele-radiology portal.
