MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Images, Inc. (Vital), a Minneapolis-based advanced medical imaging and informatics company will feature Vitrea ^® Modular Enterprise Imaging interoperability solutions at HIMSS 2017 in booth 3969, February 20–23, Orlando, FL.  Vital’s modular enterprise imaging solution is a comprehensive, customer-centric and scalable platform for personalized viewing, image management, workflow and resource planning designed for healthcare organizations to revitalize, consolidate and maximize existing healthcare IT infrastructure.
