IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Today, Candelis, Inc. announced its plans to distribute and sell the ImageGrid
PACS-RT Appliance and the ImageGrid RT Viewer through Siemens Healthcare`s

"Cutting-edge innovations in Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and Intensity
Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) have propelled image management, review and
treatment approval into the spotlight of oncology care," said Holger Schmidt,
CEO Oncology Care Systems (OCS). "The ImageGrid RT-PACS and ImageGrid RT Viewer
enhance OCS established product offerings to provide oncologists, as well as
staff at cancer centers, additional flexibility with immediate access to data
and images from any workstation, which in turn enables the realization of the
full potential of technologies such as Adaptive Targeting."

cost-effective storage solution to accommodate a growing need to archive the
large volume of image and data files being generated by high-resolution imaging
technology. "This is an innovative solution which has already found considerable
success within Radiation Therapy and Oncology and is in use at over 50 cancer
