Some thingsare meantto transcendbordersAnywhere in the world, themovements and rhythms of thetango are unmistakable: thesteps, the precision and, aboveall, the perfect timing.

It makes imagesreadily available to the physiciananywhere: across the department,enterprise, region, country, etc.By freeing medical images fromthe hospital’s “information silos”,by offering a way to capture,store, exchange and access theseimages directly through the EHR,ICIS gives them new meaningand perspective. And providescaregivers with seamless accessto the patient’s imaging history,with as much precision andsmoothness as a meticulouslyexecuted tango.With solutions like ICIS, <strong>Agfa</strong><strong>HealthCare</strong> continues to play animportant role in the changinghealthcare world, which isalways reaching farther, beyond<strong>Agfa</strong> healthcare Editorial Team Marc De Fré, Editor-in-Chief • GeertruiDe Smet, Managing Editor • Content & distribution <strong>Agfa</strong> <strong>HealthCare</strong> NV• Septestraat 27 • 2640 Mortsel • Belgium Concept, content & designwww.livingstone.eu • Printing Artoos • Oudestraat 19 • 1910 Kampenhout •BelgiumThe <strong>Agfa</strong> <strong>HealthCare</strong> editorial team would like to thank its customers, staff membersand interview partners for their contribution to this publication.<strong>Agfa</strong> and the <strong>Agfa</strong> rhombus are trademarks of <strong>Agfa</strong>-Gevaert N.V., Belgium, or its affiliates.
