Accenture, AT&T Provide Medical Imaging

CHICAGO -- Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and AT&T* have launched a new medical imaging solution that will enhance the capabilities of health professionals and radiologists to electronically share, review and store medical images, such as X-rays and CT or MRI scans, through AT&T technologies.

The Accenture Medical Imaging Solution, enabled by AT&T, can help medical professionals review patient images almost instantly, allow radiologists to see more patients and improve long-term technology costs and profitability. The solution can also enable national hospital networks to centrally manage medical images and collaborate efficiently with other institutions, physicians and radiologists.

"Access to an accurate, cost-effective diagnosis will significantly improve all aspects of health delivery," said Derek Danois, who leads medical imaging for Accenture Health. "Healthcare IT is an integral link in connecting clinical decisions and enabling an insight driven healthcare system."
