AdvaHealth acquires FlexView, launches AdvaView

AdvaHealth has acquired Radical Imaging’s FlexView, a zero-footprint DICOM viewer built for cloud imaging environments. The company has rebranded the viewer as AdvaView and integrated it with its AdvaPACS cloud-native imaging platform.

The module gives radiologists and clinicians browser-based access to imaging studies without requiring software installation, according to AdvaHealth. The company said the viewer is FDA-cleared and now sits inside the AdvaPACS environment.

AdvaHealth described the software as open, modular, and web-native. The company said the architecture supports an AI-agnostic approach that allows algorithms and tools to be added, updated, or replaced without a vendor-controlled ecosystem.

The FDA 510(k) summary lists FlexView Diagnostic as a Class II medical image management and processing system. It is cleared for reference and diagnostic viewing and analysis of multi-modality medical imaging and non-imaging data.

The FDA summary also states that the viewer allows qualified users to perform image manipulations and measurements, including window/level, markups, and 3D visualization. The device is not intended for primary diagnosis of mammographic images or diagnostic use on mobile devices.

AdvaHealth also appointed Rob Lewis, founder and CEO of Radical Imaging, to its board of directors. Lewis co-founded the Open Health Imaging Foundation project in 2015 and led the development of FlexView, according to Radical Imaging.
