Technology That Saves Lives

"Last week someone came in for a pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot in the lungs that can be potentially fatal. The patient seemed fine but we were able to determine in minutes that the patient did in fact have PE. We immediately printed out the films and sent him to the hospital. Faster technology helps us make quicker decisions. In this case, it meant the difference between sending someone home to wait for a report, sending them to the ER to wait for hours as their condition worsens or diagnosing them immediately and getting them urgent care. It can mean saving lives," said Dr. Albert.

Speeding Organic Growth

The speed of the technology system and the ability to work remotely has significantly increased work efficiencies for Medical Arts Radiology staff. They accommodate 200,000 patients across four office locations per year. As a result, they have been able to grow organically and add two new locations, which will be lit by Optimum Lightpath.

"Medical Arts Radiology has significantly advanced its medical imaging practice, and we're delighted to help them work faster and better to reach more patients than ever before," said Dave Pistacchio, President of Optimum Lightpath. "Speed is critical to radiologists, and flexible remote access to images and data across devices and offices is what keeps them competitive. We are proud to add Medical Arts Radiology to Optimum Lightpath's smart community of healthcare businesses that embrace faster and more reliable voice, data, Internet and video technologies to vastly improve medical operations and patient care."

Medical Arts Radiology has been selected by Optimum Lightpath as its Customer Spotlight of the Month for August 2009.
