American Fork, Utah -- May 16, 2007 -- To help hospitals and imaging centers more conveniently and cost-effectively share images with referring physicians, NovaRad Corporation offers a CD/DVD publisher at half the cost of competing CD/DVD publishers.

This CD/DVD publisher combines fast, automated robotic CD/DVD duplication along with full-color direct-to-disc printing in an all-in-one compact, desktop unit.

"The CD/DVD publisher is less costly and more convenient for us than using films," said, Jackie Beaubien of Modern Diagnostic Imaging. "It's also quicker to burn a disc than waiting to get films printed. I can't imagine not using the CD/DVD publisher. The comparison between films and the CD/DVD publisher is like apples and oranges."

Capabilities of the CD/DVD publisher include:
Large disc capacity -- ability to burn and print up to 50 discs
Full-color printing at up to 4800 dpi - the best in the industry
Automatic process -- Simply specify the files you wish to burn and print, select how many discs you'd like, and press "Go!"
Facility name, logo, and patient identifiers easily placed on disc

"The CD/DVD publisher is the latest addition to our complete suite of affordable PACS/RIS products," said Paul Shumway, vice president at NovaRad. "We understand hospitals and imaging centers are looking for new ways to decrease operational costs and increase productivity. The publisher saves money for the facilities upfront and continues to save them money by eliminating the cost of expensive films."

The CD/DVD publisher complements NovaRad's flagship product NovaPACS, a complete, enterprise-level PACS offering fast image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and 7-year on-site archive with off-site emergency back up. Together, the systems provide the ultimate solution for convenient, cost-effective picture archiving.
