complete cardiology record to ensure I make the most informed
medical decisions," said Nishith Admin, M.D. "With Merge's
solutions, I will now be able to see cardiology images, data and
reports wherever I am. Having this type of access is immensely
beneficial."

for their cardiology imaging and workflow needs," said Jeff Surges,
CEO, Merge Healthcare. "By implementing our entire cardiology
suite, they have solutions that will increase image access and

enterprise-level image and information system that provides a
single point of entry to the patient's complete cardio record
spanning all cardiac modalities and Merge Hemo, which
