Stentor

Stentor was a healthcare information technology company that specialized in medical image management and distribution solutions. The company is best known for its flagship product, iSite PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), which utilized a revolutionary 'on-demand' image delivery technology. This approach allowed clinicians to access and view large radiology studies over standard hospital networks without the latency typically associated with large file transfers. Stentor's technology significantly improved clinical efficiency by providing enterprise-wide access to medical images at the point of care. In 2005, the company was acquired by Royal Philips Electronics for approximately $280 million, becoming a core component of Philips' healthcare informatics business.
