All-in-one pacs workstations workstations are nothing new; large hospitals and medical centers at major universities have long enjoyed technology that combines radiology medical imaging and a mammography workstation with the advantage of Internet access, enabling real-time collaboration and consultation over the World Wide Web. Until now however, the cost was out of reach for small medical offices and health clinics.
Candelis Imagegrid now offers integrated pacs workstations that combine the functionality of a mammography viewer with
radiology medical imaging and many of the other features of an ordinary PC. The Candelis Imagegrid enables the storage of images from radiology medical imaging equipment produced in many different modalities, that can be accessed over the Internet or the office intranet. With the potential of seveal tens of terabytes of storage capability, candelis imagegrid pacs workstations provide one of the most cost-effective and user-friendly integrated solutions available - and thanks to the technological miracle of integrated volumetric imaging, radiologists will be able to store, retrieve and view MRI scans, CT scans and similar data much faster and more efficiently. This makes them highly suitable for use as a mammo viewer.
These low-cost pacs workstations allow the small clinic to connect to other workstations within a single facility as well as outside offices and large medical centers.
Because it is based on the same fundamental technology as a personal computer, its functionality goes far beyond that of a mammography workstation and radiological image viewer. In addition to enabling real-time conferencing and consultation over the Internet, business office personnel will find it useful for scheduling appointments, filing patient records, and most important of all, stay on top of all monetary transactions and insuring that payments are received - the heart and soul of the U.S. healthcare system. Health care professionals can also dictate voice records and store them as sound files for later playback.
The system is easily customized in order to suit the needs of a particular practice or other health care facility. It is a simple matter to set levels of security for various users so patient records are accessed only by those authorized to see them - keeping your office in compliance with all privacy and when necessary, reporting requirements.
The Candelis Imagegrid Picture Archive and Communication System and Radiology Information System can be installed, up and running at your health care facility in as little as three weeks from the time an order is placed, and comes with full technical support as well as onsite service for the first year.
