A mammo viewer that is easy to use will save your staff a great deal of time, and will thus also save money. Instead of making multiple queries and retrievals in order to compare images, you will want a mammography viewer that allows you to view multiple studies side by side. A mammo viewer that offers fast retrieval times is also very helpful. written by Wayne Hemrick
Because the images are in a digital online format, security is in place on every mammography workstation. Secure transmition over local area networks, wide area networks or a virtual private network are all possible with appropriate software in use with a mammography viewer. written by Wayne Hemrick
Whether it is a radiology, cardiology or mammography workstation, PACS systems are highly adaptable for a wide range of purposes. Regardless of the specialty of area of medicine, virtually every clinic and hospital can benefit from having a PACS system in place. There are even such systems designed for veterinarians and dental professionals!

The beauty of PACS systems is that it is possible to view medical images made in a variety of modalities, including MRI, EEG, EKG, CT and even X-rays. PACS workstation software allows you to see these images in a higher resolution than every before – and even see images of internal organs in virtual 3-D space as you would a CAD model. These virtual models can even be color coded for greater clarity. written by Wayne Hemrick
Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communications system, also referred to as a RIS PACS system, allows medical offices and hospitals to easily and more importantly, quickly share diagnostic imaging information, reports and images electronically through either a PACS web viewer or a regular PACS viewer. This technology greatly reduces the need for film in diagnostic imaging. written by Wayne Hemrick
Spotting an abnormality on a mammography workstation or PACS web viewer does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Your doctor will conduct further tests if an abnormality is found on any PACS workstations. A biopsy of the abnormality is also done to confirm if the cells are cancerous. written by Wayne Hemrick
In this type of mammography workstation, there are two pictures taken of each breast are taken. During the first, the patient is faced toward the platform and the RIS PACS image is shot down at the breast. The second image is a side view and then repeated on the other breast. Some techniques include magnification mammography which allows an image to be zoomed in to a specific area of interest and then transferred to a PACS viewer to be analyzed later on. 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
While we don't know much of what causes it, there are ways for you to get properly screened before the cancer takes root. This would include self examinations, mammography viewer, or PACS workstations. Here are some methods and steps to get you screened for breast cancer.

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 Wayne Hemrick
Mammography viewer technology is remarkable because now your radiologist can view and manipulate images in clearer detail with high-resolution computer monitors used to enhance visualization of the structures within the breast tissue. Now they can adjust the brightness and contrast, or zoom in on a specific area of interest to help detect small calcifications, masses, and other changes which can be signs of early cancer. This wonderful radiology medical imaging technology assures we are provided the best possible care and diagnosis. written by Wayne Hemrick
You may also have noticed dramatic drops in the price of computer technology in recent years. This drop has also affected the technology behind RIS PACS. Today, Candelis Imagegrid, a manufacturer of high tech mammography viewers and other medical imaging equipment, is able to offer the Candelis PACS – a full-featured, user friendly RIS PACS affordably priced for small private medical practices and public health facilities serving inner cities and rural communities. written by Wayne Hemrick
Candelis PACS enable medical professionals to access PACS workstations in real time over the web. No other device can increase productivity while also being an effective form communication. It also adds a more streamlined record-keeping and storage service, as well for viewing medical images.
It's no wonder why an increasing number of breast centers are choosing to integrate full-field digital mammography workstations with their preexisting PACS workstations, archive, network, and Web distribution system. It acts as a means of enhancing radiologist efficiency and improving administrative efficiency. written by Wayne Hemrick
Because the mammography viewer can be used by multiple medical specialists and technicians through the Internet, your patients will benefit from the ease of authorized medical personnel access to their important medical information, which leads to better patient care. written by Wayne Hemrick
The radiologists and lab technicians who actually perform the mammography and analyze the results will also benefit from the candelis pacs. Each examination room can have its own mammography workstation, each with its own mammography viewer – a special software application that is able to read numerous formats and modalities – including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The candelis pacs allows medical personnel to view this information readily and speedily at individual mammography workstations. In addition, the radiologist can dictate clinical notes and save these as a sound file that is contained with the patient's other information – right from their own pacs workstations. written by Wayne Hemrick
The functionality of the Candelis Imagegrid goes beyond clinical imaging however. With massive data storage capability, it is now possible to store all patient records in a fully customizable database; receptionists, transcriptionists and personnel working in the billing department can all access their own pacs workstations in order to input appropriate information – which can be stored in any manner that is logical and convenient for the clinical staff. written by Wayne Hemrick
The mammography viewer allows the user to actually call up, view and store medical images from multiple modalities, including MRI, CT scans, EEGs and X Rays. Of course, image files in any format are notorious for their size. The good news is that the Candelis mammography workstation has enormous storage capabilities, ranging into the tens of terabytes (1 terabyte = 1,000 gigabytes). The Candelis PACS is also expandable and fully user-configurable, so patient information and images can be stored in a database that is customizable to your clinic's particular needs. written by Wayne Hemrick
This RIS PACS creates not only film-less image but also vastly improves your doctor's diagnosis methods. Doctors and other health professionals now have full accessibility to compare multiple images at the touch of a button thanks to PACS radiology.

Because it is based on the same fundamental technology as a personal computer, its functionality goes far beyond that of a mammography workstation and radiological image viewer. In addition to enabling real-time conferencing and consultation over the Internet, business office personnel will find it useful for scheduling appointments, filing patient records, and most important of all, stay on top of all monetary transactions and insuring that payments are received - the heart and soul of the U.S. healthcare system. Health care professionals can also dictate voice records and store them as sound files for later playback. << previous page 1 next page>> |
