<< previous page 1 next page>> written by Jonathan Blocker A radiology pacs system can help to make your patient records more error-free. Because of the digital format and several layers of identification of patient information, fewer errors occur, and there are warnings from the pacs radiology program if something appears to be amiss. written by Jonathan Blocker Radiology PACS are Picture Archiving and Communication Systems that allow you to produce, view, archive and transmit digital images. Digital radiology systems utilize both specialized software and hardware, yet many of the systems can be run on personal computers and networks with which you likely are already familiar. written by Jonathan Blocker Modern radiology PACS (Picture Archive and Communication Systems) employ the same basic PC and Internet technology with which you are already familiar – meaning that you can be up and running quickly without having to invest large amounts of time and money training the staff on how to use new technology. written by Jonathan Blocker These are all reasons why so many hospitals and medical offices are making the switch to Radiology PACS. With dicom pacs, the patient images are now all digital, and can be viewed using a personal computer that you already have at your office. Digital images can be retrieved through the use of a search feature quickly and easily. These images can also be stored in a fraction of the space once needed, and backup can be done both on and offsite, so that you are safe should disaster strike. written by Jonathan Blocker Radiologists read the RIS PACS report and then discuss their findings with a doctor the method of treatment best suited for the problem. Thanks to web based PACS the radiologist can even speak to more than one doctor at a time. Digital radiology is so important that most medical clinics now have their own radiology lab equipped with PACS systems and RIS systems so they don’t have to depend on others for getting such important information. written by Jonathan Blocker You can achieve a fully digitized system by combining clinical workstations to diagnostic monitors, 3D viewers for reading volumetric data, mammography viewers, PET and CT viewers, web-based viewers, routers, networks, servers and printers for the ultimate in connectivity, cost effectiveness and better patient care. All of this rests on the foundation provided by the pacs system. << previous page 1 next page>> |
