The partnership represents a natural fit between the organizations, as Calgary Scientific is the only player currently offering a true, zero-footprint web platform technology. Calgary Scientific’s PureWeb™ platform allows software applications to be web-enabled with no downloads or data transfers, while retaining the same robust functionality. Calgary Scientific continues to be the only company living up to these promises of delivering a true, zero-footprint scenario. The partnerships created through the PureWeb offering are allowing OEM partners to quickly integrate and deliver products in teleradiology that will save real time, money and lives. Medweb’s large base of more than 1,000 installations worldwide will allow many physicians to benefit from the product pairing. "Medweb is very excited to partner with Calgary Scientific to extend our advanced web-based radiology visualization solutions and PACS to support automated calcium scoring and reporting combined with Medweb's advanced 3D, 4D web-based visualization, automatic vessel analysis, and auto-segmentation tools, the CS calcium scoring module completes a powerful set of diagnostic imaging and reporting tools delivered to any desktop." says Dr. Peter Kilcommons M.D., President of Medweb. "We are continuing to see tremendous interest in the PureWeb platform as we are uniquely delivering on the global vision for improved healthcare, through a truly virtualized medical IT environment, that will benefit everyone in the system," says Byron Osing, CEO at Calgary Scientific. "Approximately ten months ago, when we first unveiled PureWeb to the industry at RSNA, we were trying to convince the industry that PureWeb was a real breakthrough technology platform, and could truly deliver on the zero-footprint promise. Having now gone through that cycle of proving out to many potential customers and partners that the technology is very real, very sophisticated, well protected, and very unique, the rapidly growing adoption rates would now obviously indicate that the message has been well received."
