<< previous page 1 next page>> written by Jonathan Blocker Today's CR system is based on and fully integrated with the modern PC; mastering today's CR software requires little more effort than learning to use any other kind of office application. Cardiology PACS allow any authorized party to view medical images made with virtually any kind of modality on a standard computer monitor. These images can be viewed and even delivered to remote locations over the World Wide Web, meaning that consultation and online collaboration in real time is now possible. written by Wayne Hemrick A medical practice can employ a set number of employees to spend their entire day retrieving and filing documents. Think of not only all those wasted hours filing the old records in a warehouse or some storeroom but also in money to pay for that storage space and work to be done. It only makes sense for a medical office to invest in an RIS PACS system like a mammography workstation to save both time and money. written by Wayne Hemrick Some even travel to participate in clinical trials. Coordinating all of these medical treatments and visits through a paper trail is a time-consuming, and often dangerous, procedure. written by Wayne Hemrick More and more health offices often, and mistakenly, cite cost issues as the main reason they haven't invested in this new ground-breaking technology. However, the techniques utilized from a digital imaging system such as a PACS archive system can replace expensive or painful surgical procedures. One example of this is when a patient suffers from a brain tumor. Previously, this patient would need to endure a painful procedure in which air was injected into their skull as they were rotated upside down. This is no longer the case thanks to MRIs and computed tomography scans stored on a PACS appliance. written by Jonathan Blocker Radiology software, such as CR systems and CR solutions, give medical professionals a clear and detailed imaging of body parts and their functioning behavior. A great example of this type of CR system is one type of MRI which can put out extensive scans of 64 slice images and three dimensional outputs. Powerful CR software like this allows a physician or specialist to get an upper hand in analyzing the images from any and all possible angles. written by Jonathan Blocker A CR system saves a lot of time and effort on the part of the specialists. This is a great way to diagnose an appropriate treatment method for a specific disease or condition of a patient. It ensures greater patient care and high precision diagnosis. written by Jonathan Blocker Tumors can do a great deal of damage. CR solutions implementing CR software is a trauma free means of monitoring and tracking physiological damage done by them and their growth progression. Radiation therapy is often also used as a way of treating brain tumors and cancers, ranging from breast, colorectal, head, neck, lung and prostate. written by Jonathan Blocker Thanks to technology like cardiology PACS, diagnosis and treatment of heart problems is vastly improving. Cardiologic departments have the ability to share information and diagnosis with specialists from other hospitals. Patients benefit from cardiology PACS since there is less time waiting to receive results, so treatment is often quicker. For hospital staff, there are fewer wasted appointments due to lost or unusable scans. 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>> |
