Advantages of digital imaging over film
Much like the photography industry, radiology has moved from conventional film to digitally stored images.
Digital radiology allows for X-Rays and scans to performed, adjusted and then immediately sent to the radiologist for examinaiton. Subsequently, studies are then stored on our PACS which allows referrers to access images remotely.
Digital radiology offers considerable benefits. Aside from reducing the costly expense of printing film, the images and reports are readily accessible by radiologists, referring doctors and physiotherapists using a personal computer, just minutes after the examination was performed.
As our systems are connected to the internet; studies can be viewed simultaneously and securely by physicians who are kilometres apart. In addition to online image viewing, we provide our patients with their images on CD, allowing them to view images at home or at other hospitals around the world.
Images on Disc
All of our patients are given a CD which contains digital images of their scans. Images can be viewed on Mac, Windows and most Linux operating systems. Click here to learn how to open these images.
Online access with InteleViewer
InteleViewer provides free, secure, web-based access for referrers and specialists, allowing them to review their patient’s medical imaging results.
Mobile Data Access
Using a mobile broadband solution, you will be able to access our online imaging services over a cellular network. As not all clinics and hospitals offer consulting doctors Internet connections, mobile broadband is the ideal solution.
