<< previous page 1 next page>> written by Wayne Hemrick The RIS PACS system also allows you to view and enhance images for better patient care. You can take a digital image and zoom in, change the brightness or contrast, along with several other features in order to give you the image you need for a clear diagnosis. A web viewer allows for high-end graphic images to be properly displayed, such as are used in medical digital imaging. 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 Fully functional pacs systems will also allow you to set up parameters under which you want the system to operate. By giving some forethought to the tasks that each department performs on a routine basis, you can set up your system to automatically take care of some of that work for them. Because digital images must be properly stored as well as archived for HIPPA compliance, you can set up the pacs systems to automatically send the images to the archive, so you do not have to expend energy on it on a daily basis. 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. written by Wayne Hemrick Dental radiography makes use of all of the above mentioned techniques but to view teeth. Projection radiography involves the creation of images by placing the subject under X-rays or electromagnetic radiation. << previous page 1 next page>> |
