Dicom Solutions offer affordable PACS software and systems suitable for smaller medical centers, imaging centers, radiology departments, small clinics, chiropractic and orthopedic clinics, podiatry offices, dental, and veterinary offices. You can select from a full suite of DICOM Solutions the specific components, including dicom printers, which can be added onto your current system in stages, making the transition to digital imaging easier and even more cost effective.

Small medical offices are finding that computed radiology, or cr, solutions offer a perfect answer for the issues raised by meeting HIPAA standards of retention of patient records for seven to ten years. Trying to store this much hard copy patient data requires a large storage area, as well as technicians whose job it is to file, sort and retrieve the data as needed. Now with PACS software, all you need is a personal computer and server, and you are good to go.

The dicom archive is also a major benefit if a disaster strikes. All it takes is one major flood or hurricane, and you could be out years of patient data. However, it is a simple matter to perform digital backups both in office and off-site, so that in cases of emergency your important information is kept safe. The dicom archive is also very easy for doctors to use, because digital images can be brought up online and compared, a huge benefit for mammography and oncology offices. Consultations between doctors can occur online through the use of the archived medical images, even if the doctors are countries apart, via the world wide web.

There are times, however, when hard copies of digital images must be made, and dicom printers are there for all your digital printing distribution needs. Many printers are powerful yet compact, so that you can place them near your cr workstations and they will take up very small footprints. Printers vary according to the size of media, so you will want to consult the particular printer's product details in order to compare printers and find the one that is best suited to your particular medical requirements. You will also want a printer that is compatible with the dicom software in place on the pc, and this is why the dicom printers are perfectly suited to the task. Printers that offer color imaging are also available. You will want to make sure that any printer you are considering is FDA approved, and will make prints quickly. Some printers will print films in any modality, while others specialize in certain ones, so check to ensure that the printer will meet your unique needs.

Dicom printers offer a wealth of versatility that will make your CR solutions more customized to meet your particular medical office's needs at the best price.
