McKesson has signed a distribution agreement with Swissray, a worldwide leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of state-of-the-art digital radiography (DR) systems.

In addition to its Horizon Medical Imaging picture archiving and communication system (PACS), McKesson will sell Swissray’s DR technology. Together the systems provide imaging departments and centers with enhanced workflow and performance capabilities to speed the patient care process.

The Horizon Medical Imaging PACS is the flagship component of McKesson’s enterprise imaging offering. As a complete reporting and workflow system, Horizon Medical Imaging brings all of the patient’s images together, enabling radiologists to more quickly deliver results to the attending care team. Tight integration and tools that streamline workflow and break down interdepartmental communication barriers provide significant value to McKesson customers and their patients.
