Radiology equipment can now produce digital images

There are an increasing number of clinics and imaging centers that are using advanced radiology equipment to switch to digital imaging. DICOM (digital imaging and communication) solutions are one of the most sought after technological innovations, since they allow for this switch to be done economically as well as minus any complicated procedures. The methodology is this PACS (picture archiving and communication system) software is integrated into the system using personal computers to facilitate conversion of film imagery into digital images. Hence, there are no more expenses for procuring film, as well as developing costs for the same, not to mention the danger of exposure to toxic chemicals!

The main advantage of this revolutionary radiology equipment is that the images can be sent to anybody in the world via internet within a flash of a second. This has indeed been a big boon to medical practitioners all around the world, since they can now easily refer to and consult with other doctors regarding special cases and receive instant feedback.

This DICOM conversion is actually possible due to the PACS software, and has another benefit in the fact that images are taken in different formats, like X-rays, mammograms, MRIs, CT scan, etc., and can easily be converted into digital images. Further, this radiology equipment, along with this innovative software, ensures that the conversion is a cost-effective procedure, as one can also easily archive records to pull out whenever they are needed. In order to ensure compliance with HIPAA standards of patient record retention, hospitals have had to specially allocate space for files and shelves for storing the regular imagery. Now, with digital imagery, it's all a matter of a few hard drives, and tens of years of history can be stored without any hassles. This fantastic radiology equipment has indeed changed the shape of things to come in the medical field.
