Vivalog founder Rex Jakobovitis was out searching for venture capital financing when a better offer arrived. McKesson, the healthcare services giant, wanted the 5-person company.
Jakobovitis, a 39-year-old University of Washington computer science Ph.D. who built Vivalog on the back of NIH grants and early product sales, called off the VC meetings and opted for the buyout.
Cases are displayed in a PACS-like viewer, offering users the ability to zoom, pan, scroll through series, and adjust windows/levels. All panels can be indepdently resized by dragging the borders. Images automatically adjust to fit the viewing window. Text appears in tab format, with each field in its own section. Key images are accessed by thumbnails under the text.
The company's online medical imaging portal, MyPACS.net, attracts about 70,000 
medical professionals and one million page views each month. Due to the reference cases and comprehensive information on the site, Jakobovitis said Vivalog sometimes is referred to as the "YouTube of Radiology."
MyPACS is a pure web-based application. It requires zero deployment effort, no matter how many users or how many locations. Users can immediately create and browse cases from any PC or Mac. Our dedicated support staff remotely maintains the server as new updates are released.
