A Long Island imaging center streamlines workflows and eliminates errors via an integrated RIS/PACS.

For a Long Island-based imaging center, closing that chasm took time, teamwork and forward-thinking vendors. Having grown to eight locations spread across Nassau and Suffolk counties, Zwanger-Pesiri radiology has been providing radiological services to the region for more than 55 years. With 25 board-certified staff radiologists, the full-service imaging center provides the entire spectrum of MRI and CT scan modalities as well as Nuclear Medicine, ultra sound and DEXA Bone Densitometry.
