Laitek, Inc

Laitek Inc. was founded by medical physicist Fred M. Behlen, Ph.D, a leading specialist in imaging informatics. A former faculty member of The University of Chicago and active DICOM and HL7 standards developer, Dr. Behlen was the founding co-chair of the DICOM/HL7 joint working groups (WG20/IIWG) for ten years, and was a co-editor of the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture Release 2 (CDA). Dr. Behlen has led the Laitek team in pioneering advances and best practices in standards-compliant rapid data migration and storage for healthcare facilities around the globe.

Since 1980 Laitek has developed innovative solutions for acquiring, processing and presenting scientific and medical image information. The company’s innovation, leadership and philosophy are founded on the understanding that in an environment of changing technology, long-term permanence of information can only be obtained by storage and communication in documented standards-compliant form.
