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 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 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 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 archive is a big reason why medical office managers are so sold on the dicom system. HIPAA laws require retaining patient records for seven to ten years, and office managers understand the reality of how much work and space it takes to maintain such files. By converting it all to digital, your important files can be saved to a server, and simple backups can be made on CDs. Data can also be saved off-site, so that if disaster strikes on-site all of your important records are secure. The dicom archive system also makes patient file retrieval very easy from any workstation that is connected online and outfitted with the software. 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>> |
