Numa, Amherst, NH, which specializes in nuclear medicine connectivity, has introduced NumaStore Lite Image Management Solution for nuclear cardiology, PET and other multi-modality images.

NumaStore Lite, a special version of Numa’s image storage and management system fine-tuned for the needs of smaller nuclear medicine departments, freestanding clinics and specialty practices. Robust, reliable and user-friendly, traditional NumaStore offers secure cataloging and long-term storage of NM, PET/CT and related patient studies. Enabling a paradigm shift in use of NM studies, it also supports efficient retrieval of these studies for long-term patient care as an alternative to the simple diagnostic snapshots stored on a PACS that are used today.

“Sites with low volumes of nuclear images typically have been archiving these studies on removable media,” said Lawrence Smith, president.  “This media is difficult to manage and creates significant workflow inefficiencies that small practices cannot afford.  At the same time, most online archiving systems are beyond their budgets.”
