After clients' scanning and information systems are connected to vRad's technology platform, mammography studies and patient information can be quickly and automatically routed to fellowship-trained breast imagers. However, the workflow efficiency goes beyond speed. When combined with MagView's?® structured reporting system, vRad facilitates direct communication between vRad's radiologists and remote technologists about the magnified views critical in providing the most accurate breast cancer detection.

vRad's technology platform also enables radiology practices and their clients to have real-time communication with subspecialists, further enabling the fully integrated alignment and interdisciplinary collaboration that improves quality.

"vRad is committed to expanding access, improving quality and lowering costs by partnering with local radiologists. Together we are transforming the delivery of breast imaging for patients, while allowing hospitals to treat their patients locally, avoiding the inconvenient and unnecessarily stressful trips to providers outside their community," said Rob Kill, vRad president and chief executive officer.

With its 99.8% accuracy rate for final interpretations, vRad is now applying its long-standing, multifaceted Quality Assurance program to breast imaging as an innovative telemedicine delivery model. Continually recognized for high-quality reports and industry-leading service, vRad has been ranked No. 1 for three consecutive years in the "Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards" report for the teleradiology services category by independent healthcare research firm KLAS.
