These systems offer 128-bit SSL encryption, enabling the safe and secure transmission of patient images and records. written by Jonathan Blocker Another advantage of the web-based DICOM viewer is that it allows these images to be shared online over an intranet or the Internet and viewed on any computer monitor – anywhere in the world. written by Jonathan Blocker A dicom viewer also enables the printing of medical digital images to a wide variety of printers. written by Jonathan Blocker
A DICOM web viewer is a software that translates your dicom data into a viewable picture. One of the great features that comes from using a web based dicom viewer is that it improves consultations and work with off-site specialists. As long as they have authorization and a computer with the appropriate DICOM web viewer software, they can access the digital medical images, making it possible to consult with physicians located around the globe. A web based dicom viewer can be the basis of a workstation in your medical office, allowing you to perform diagnoses with enhanced digital imagery.
written by Jonathan Blocker One type of dicom viewer that is very popular with physicians is the Efilm Workstation. This handy software allows you to view PET and CT images at the same time, and also offers a thumbnail viewer for your use. The sophisticated dicom viewer also allows you to accomplish 3D volume rendering, and toolbars can be customized to your specifications. Storage of dicom medical imaging is possible because the Efilm dicom viewer allows you to save your images and other files to DVDs or CDs. written by Jonathan Blocker Printing of digital medical images is quicker and easier using the Efilm Workstation. This software offers you flexibility because your printing can happen on a wide variety of printers.
Another time-saving benefit built into the efilm viewer is the ability to burn CDs and DVDs straight from the efilm dicom program. You will find the software even more convenient and time saving because you can save text files straight from the efilm program to CD and DVD as well. written by Jonathan Blocker
Through the use of a web based dicom viewer, you can also have speedy access any where you are. You are no longer tied to your desk at the office, but can remotely access the medical images that you require at your convenience through the use of a web based dicom viewer. written by Jonathan Blocker If there are only a few specialists that service several medical offices, using a DICOM web viewer allows you to send patient images via the Internet to the specialist, who can use a dicom reader to make a diagnosis quickly, and get the results back to you rapidly through the dicom viewer so that patient treatment can proceed. written by Jonathan Blocker
This speeds up retrieval times, because you can bring up both patient digital images as well as records on your DICOM web viewer. written by Jonathan Blocker You will also save money on related imaging costs, such as the development chemicals that are hazardous to store and use, which are not used with a dicom viewer. written by Jonathan Blocker DICOM web viewers not only eliminate the expense of traditional film development as well as the time spent filing and archival space, they allow for the ready viewing and transfer of images made in a wide variety of modalities – including MRI, EEG, CT and even old-fashioned x-rays. It is possible to view any of these on a good, high-resilution PC monitor without the necessity of complex and proprietary software. With DICOM web viewers, real-time collaboration and consultation over the Internet is now possible – and easier and faster than ever. written by Jonathan Blocker There is much less room for error when using your computer to retrieve records than might happen if people were retrieving them. Film images can be misfiled and damaged over time, but with digital images seen on a dicom viewer this is less likely to happen.
written by Jonathan Blocker An efilm workstation will also allow you to distribute digital images easily. Digital images can be shared with other health professionals who have dicom viewers regardless of where they are located worldwide. In this manner, a dicom viewer allows you to consult with the best diagnosticians anywhere there is Internet access in a timely manner. written by Jonathan Blocker DICOM viewers also extend the function and capability of medical monitors. In addition to allowing doctors and nurses to keep track of patients' BP, respiration and so forth, a DICOM monitor can be used to examine digitized images taken with MRI, CT, EEG or x-rays at crystal-clear resolutions. The DICOM web viewer enables any authorized staff member to view such images over the local area network as well as the World Wide Web; DICOM viewers mean that medical professionals can now consult and collaborate with colleagues at remote locations in real time. written by Jonathan Blocker Archival storage and transmission of medical images has traditionally been cumbersome; as regulations often require that such images be stored for specific amounts of time – often several years – a medical archive could in the old days take up rooms of space in folders that had to be searched by hand. written by Jonathan Blocker The good news is that the same economic trends that have driven down the cost of personal computers has also lowered the costs of web based PACS. Today, even public health clinics and small, under-funded rural facilities as well as veterinary clinics can obtain a DICOM Web viewer for as little as $5000. written by Jonathan Blocker These state of the art imaging machines perform a wide variety of tasks ranging from performing a standard x-ray, to transmitting a brain scan over a DICOM web viewer to analyzing blood samples. The majority of imaging technology can provide more than one service, making them useful and some cases, irreplaceable in hospitals and clinics. With so many radiology machines in use, it is impossible for every physician to use every piece of equipment or even know how to interpret data a certain machine, such as a DICOM viewer, collects. written by Jonathan Blocker MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, implements a magnet to align hydrogen atoms within the human body, allowing them to receive a frequency of radio waves. The body sends back this radio signal to the MRI machine which converts them into detailed images of the body part in question. These can be viewed upon a DICOM web viewer or a simple DICOM viewer. written by Jonathan Blocker The dicom viewers can also be customized for specific functions. You can use the viewer as part of a workstation that is geared toward mammography, or PET/CT viewing, or for volumetric viewing. << previous page 1 next page>> |
