American Fork, Utah - Novarad enters into this New Year after a successful 2010, netting more than a 13 percent increase in contracts.

Much of the growth can be attributed to extending its distributor network in Latin America, Philippines and Turkey and from the new products and services that were introduced to Novarad's portfolio: NovaPro for radiology groups; NovaVault vendor-neutral archiving service; and NovaRIS Billing powered by MBMS.

"We have kept our focus on developing and adapting our products and services to meet the requests of radiologists and hospital administrators rather than developing for 'technology's sake.' This flexible approach has resulted in positive growth numbers for us year after year," said Paul Shumway, vice president at Novarad. "What is meeting the needs of radiologists today won't be able to keep up with their needs in the next six months. We are continually evolving our products and extending our product mix to keep up with these changes and with our promise that software and hardware upgrades are always included - we truly are delivering our customers RIS/PACS solutions for life."

In addition to NovaPro, NovaVault and NovaRIS Billing, Novarad's complete portfolio includes NovaPACS, ClinicPACS, NovaRIS, NovaDash, NovaMG, NovaPro, NovaCardio, NovaRead and NovaVault.
