EMSOW

EMSOW is a cloud-based radiology platform that combines a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), a DICOM viewer, structured reporting, and Medical Billing in one system. Founded in 2010, it was first developed as a proprietary system for a mobile diagnostic imaging company. It has since expanded to serve teleradiology providers, doctors' offices, and billing companies.
