Use A Dicom Web Viewer For The Ultimate Connectivity

The World Wide Web has been the ultimate communication marvel in recent world history. Connecting people from all over the world quickly and inexpensively, the Internet has opened up a whole new realm of worldwide dialogue. That communication capability is also readily available in the medical field as well. Through the use of DICOM Solutions, now small medical offices can have affordable instant access and archiving capabilities that was once only available to large hospitals. Through the use of PACS software, and ris pacs, medical offices, clinics, imaging centers and radiology departments can have the lightning speed of the Internet at their fingertips.

The DICOM web viewer is the hub of all the activity. A workstation that has a DICOM web viewer allows authorized users to view medical images from any modality, including mammograms, x-rays, CTs, MRIs, ultrasound and other digital image producers. Now consulting with doctors next door or in the next country is entirely possible in real time with Internet connectivity and the use of digital imaging.

A DICOM web viewer uses PACS software to enable it to do its important job. The picture archiving and communications system contained in this software allows a personal computer to take images from any modality and convert them to digital images. Digital images are easily saved in a variety of formats, including simple CDs and DVDs.

The dicom archive is a big reason why medical office managers are so sold on the dicom system. HIPAA laws require retaining patient records for seven to ten years, and office managers understand the reality of how much work and space it takes to maintain such files. By converting it all to digital, your important files can be saved to a server, and simple backups can be made on CDs. Data can also be saved off-site, so that if disaster strikes on-site all of your important records are secure. The dicom archive system also makes patient file retrieval very easy from any workstation that is connected online and outfitted with the software.

Ris pacs also makes medical office managers and doctors very happy as well. The radiology information system allows you to schedule patient appointments, register patients, track mammographies, produce reports, track patients, as well as enter and deliver results.
With DICOM Solutions, you can acquire digital images and patient information, archive it accurately and retrieve it quickly, view digital images anywhere in the world with Internet access using the DICOM web viewer, and distribute patient data easily. The Dicom web viewer is the central point of your medical office workstation, allowing you to communicate medical information in surprisingly easy and affordable new ways.
