A continuously increasing number of patients are taking their previous radiological images digitally on CD, DVD or memory stick when they present to hospitals, clinics or doctor´s offices for further examination and treatment.
Such media frequently cause significant problems when being read-into existing viewing systems or when being compared to PACS radiological examinations. In addition to this, the use of other viewers is often a complicated process.
The DICOMReader extremely simplifies the handling of patient CDs.
Installing the DICOMReader at the reception of a medical facility allows the support personnel the ability to read-in any medical image CD and transfer the patient studies via the network directly to the relevant viewing station or the PACS. This process allows examinations from external sources to semi-automatically adopt the numbering system of your RIS-PACS, therefore making them available for viewing and comparison with the PACS examinations.
The DICOMReader 3.5 achieves the highest worldwide read-in rate of medical CDs into any PACS.
Any removable data carrier like CD-ROMs, DVDs or memory sticks, inserted into the computer will be scanned automatically for available medical images. At the same time the auto-start of software that may be included on the medium is prevented. All detected images are then analyzed and if necessary they are automatically converted into a format that your PACS can process. For high data volumes a parallel handling (multi-threading) of the scan and transfer processes is possible, allowing the user to read-in several media simultaneously from different drives.
The DICOMReader has received several awards from various radiological societies for its user- friendliness, data integrity and security.
Numerous hospitals, clinics and doctor’s offices have relied on the market leader for years. They are holding in their hands a powerful tool that is continuously enhanced and improved through mutual collaboration. A free trial version of DICOMReader/PRO 3.5 is available and can easily be set up by your administrator or a local reseller.
