Agfa Healthcare said Tuesday it inked a deal with DataFirst Corp. to offer speedy data migration services to U.S. cardiologists.

Under the deal, the company would use DataFirst's "Hyper Migration" platform to help migrate cardiologists' old imaging data to newer systems. The service is available to any North American cardiology practice, the company said.

DataFirst is a Raleigh, N.C.-based company that offers PACS data migration and archiving services, and says it can help users perform large data migrations in only a few days, rather than in the weeks or months of typical DICOM migrations.
