Description
DICOMReader
DICOMReader automatically scans any CD-ROM, DVD, Blu-Ray or USB media inserted into a computer for DICOM images or any other file based media. The images are analyzed, converted if necessary, and then transmitted via DICOM STORE to any specified viewing station or PACS. Workflow rules can also be set up for central CD-ROM management in imaging centers.
ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST COMPATIBILITY
Since most imaging centers and hospitals are forced to keep costs low and performance high these days, it is of great importance that the imaging workflow - including the importing of external patient data and its distribution inside and outside of the organization - runs quickly and smoothly.
A prerequisite of this smooth work flow is to create universally compatible formats that can be read by every PACS. In the real world, no PACS can easily import every type of medical image. Imaging specialists often have to deal with proprietary formats, incomplete studies or inconsistent images, and even with the fact that the DICOM format itself is in continuous development.
DICOMReader 6.0 puts an end to those compatibility issues. Being a powerful tool which ensures full readability of all medical image formats, it allows for the importing of any medical images into every PACS.
To get the most benefit out of the workflow, it is highly recommended that DICOMReader is installed at the front desk. By delegating the data administration, valuable time can be saved by physicians while patient studies are automatically read from the portable media into any PACS. Now, physicians will find all external patient studies available for immediate access in their PACS or preferred viewer.
DICOMReader recognizes and imports all medical image files stored on a patient’s media and, if necessary, converts them into a format that can be read by the locally installed PACS. In the process, it can even adopt patient information from the local RIS/PACS to match external studies with internal data. In addition, DICOMReader supports all of the 119 modalities defined in the DICOM Standard!
By using DICOMReader 6.0 physicians can save time and rely on consistent data that can be effortlessly forwarded to other colleagues for second opinions.
