Radiant Sage, a provider of on-demand clinical trial image management solutions, announced a partnership with a major pharmaceutical company in order to enhance and re-launch its open source DICOM images submitter solution, ImageLink.

The ImageLink solution will now be a fully validated open source solution that has the necessary features built-in to facilitate clinical trial sponsors and their partners to submit and share images through one common user interface. The new partnership is supposed to integrate this tool as a plug-in to Radiant Sage's Corelab-in-a-Box and Image Collaborative Portal solutions.  

Radiant Sage explained that Core-Lab-in-a-Box is a purpose built clinical trial imaging management software package and is a comprehensive technology solution providing users with all the key functionality of an imaging core lab without the associated expense and risk. It will facilitate study execution, regulatory compliance and exploratory research.

Officials with the company commented that during a clinical trial, image transfer between the sponsor and their partners can be a very cumbersome process as images and related data are captured and organized differently by the various acquirers. Radiant Sage’s pharmaceutical partner realized the need for one open source solution that could be used by all of its partners which would enable images to be transmitted in a standardized format and organized to meet the specific clinical trial requirements. The partnership’s objective is to turn the ImageLink tool into a valuable, validated and fully supported solution that will help drive its adoption rate rapidly among the potential end-user organizations.

The company added that the enhanced version of ImageLink will be available to the market in early 2012 and also its longer-term vision is making this tool an industry standard so that all sponsors and vendors will have one, customizable tool for transmitting clinical image data organized in the required manner.
