Visual Medica's wide range of products, including PACS solutions, DICOM viewers, web platforms and teleradiology systems will be able to take full advantage of Fovia's CPU-based HDVR® for local, enterprise-wide and cloud-based visualization.

"With Latin America's increasing need to adapt to the rapidly-changing digital environment, we need partners with innovative, scalable and flexible technology," said Enrique Paniagua, Director of Visual Medica. "We are thrilled be able to offer Fovia's best-in-class imaging to our target markets."
