<< previous page 1 next page>> written by Wayne Hemrick Digital images are easily seen on the pacs web viewer. Because of the digital aspect of the image, they can be enhanced so that certain parts of the images are clarified when seen through the pacs viewer. written by Wayne Hemrick Any personal computers that are tied into the hospital or clinic LAN can function as PACS workstations, provided that the correct software is installed and you have high-resolution monitors. Using a current PC as a PACS viewer saves money and makes better use of existing resources. PACS systems make it possible for any authorized person to view medical images on these PACS viewers; they can even be shared with colleagues anywhere in the world over the World Wide Web for purposes of consultation. 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 Another positive about this particular radiology web viewer is its wide variety of possibilities for implementing a browser-based viewer. Each image file is sent by the server to perform an end user interaction. These range from files such as HTML to Java Scripts. Some data may also invoke plug-in code, although this can potentially reduce the portability of a PACS viewer. 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. << previous page 1 next page>> |
