In order to do so, however, you will need to bring with you the types of equipment and technology that you would have access to at your home office, in order to provide your patients with the best possible care.  It is for this reason that many chiropractors choose mobile x-ray in DR and CR formats as their Chiropractic x-ray system of choice.

One of the many benefits that comes from using mobile digital x-ray equipment is that with a CR or DR system, every image you take out on the road will be compatible with your digital imaging equipment back at your office.  You won’t need to make any additional investments in special mobile equipment, a convenience that comes from digital imaging systems.

The digital images that you take out in the field will be able to be read on your clinical workstations, although you can set up a laptop computer with wireless access and running on a PACS system in order to view and send your patients’ digital x-rays back to the home office for consultations, referrals and archiving purposes, even when you are out and about, away from the office.

Another advantage that you will enjoy with mobile digital x-ray systems is that they are sturdy yet lightweight.  This is important due to the transporting of equipment that occurs in a mobile practice setting.  It simply makes it easier every time you need to load and unload digital x-ray equipment.

CR and DR units also come with wheeled carts, so that you can more easily get the equipment to the patient.  Because the units are designed with mobility in mind, they typically offer a much smaller footprint than systems you might use in your spacious home office, making them much easier to use in unfamiliar locales and will take up less room in your medical van or other form of transportation.

You can learn more about the wide array of Chiropractic x-ray systems available from Dicom, which also include compatible PACS, diagnostic monitors, viewers, clinical workstations and more for the mobile Chiropractic practice.

A Vet X-ray system begins with the acquisition of digital images.  Many Veterinarians find that Vet DR and Vet CR imaging systems work very well for their specialized medical practices.   Both types of images can be used either in a stationary radiology room at your home practice, or there are models available that make it possible for you to provide digital x-rays in a mobile practice setting.  These units can also be used to retrofit your existing film x-ray equipment, making it less expensive to make the switch to digital imaging because you only buy the components of the system that you need for your practice.

Storage of digital images is vitally important in order to maintain accurate and complete patient records, an important step in providing superior patient care at your practice.  You can utilize a PACS system, which will allow you to store your digital images quickly, conveniently, and will save you money on archiving and handling costs.  Digital images may be saved to CD or DVD, or you can opt to send the images to an offsite server for long-term storage in the event that disaster recovery is needed.

You can also use your PACS system to view digital x-rays.  When enhanced with a high-resolution diagnostic monitor that works with your personal computer, you will have an optimized clinical workstation that will allow you to efficiently read your x-rays, allowing you to save money by improving productivity in the office.

The PACS appliance will also let you transmit your digital images over the World Wide Web.  This makes is much easier to do a real-time consultation with a specialist located nearly anywhere in the world, which also enables your ability to provide outstanding patient care.  Digital images and other digital text records can quickly and easily be sent online, saving time, which may help to save patients’ lives.

Many hospitals and emergency rooms choose DR as their urgent care x-ray system of choice.  Before digital x-ray, urgent care facilities used film x-rays, which take quite a while to develop.  All of that time is now greatly reduced through the use of digital imaging devices.  In fact, direct digital radiography is currently the fastest method for taking medical digital images available.

There are several reasons why critical care facilities make the switch to urgent care DR systems.  Each time you need to use x-ray equipment with a patient, the entire exam will go faster with digital imaging systems in place.  This is because you eliminate the need for film developing.  Diagnoses will also improve with the use of a DR system because of the image enhancing features such as changing the contrast, brightness and resolution of the digital images, as well as the ability to perform measurements with ease and bring up the patient notes and images instantly.

Another benefit is that you can transmit digital medical images over the Internet, allowing you to consult with specialists and other physicians in a fast way completely impossible with film.  All of this will go to improve your urgent care office‘s workflow.

Dicom Solutions offers urgent care DR imagers from SmartRad, Neo DR, X-Caliber and Naomi DR.  SmartRad offers flat panel detectors that are integrated into the unit, while the Neo DR is the first system that provides cassette-sized wireless digital productivity that fits on your current urgent care facility’s equipment quickly and easily with no retrofitting involved.  X-Caliber offers charge-coupling device technology that provides you with a long-lasting unit due to no internal moving parts as well as no replacement imaging plates needed.  There is no waiting involved when you use digital imaging equipment from Naomi.  Only a few seconds are needed from the time you capture your digital medical image to the time you are viewing it.

Dicom Solutions offers everything you need to put a digital urgent care x-ray system into effect at your facility.

Digital imaging systems are very popular because each examination that you conduct will be faster and smoother.  With digital x-rays, you will be able to see the results of each image taken within seconds, so that you will also know instantly if the images are good or if you need to retake any.  This makes it much easier on patients, who do not need to be bothered with return trips to the office.

With digital medical imaging, you also completely eliminate the time it takes for film image developing, and also reduce costs because no dangerous chemicals are used with digital imaging.  If you would like to consult with another physician down the hall or across the world, you can do so by sending and receiving digital medical images over the Internet in seconds, improving the speed of diagnoses and thus offering better patient care.

Another way that patient care is enhanced is that you can modify digital images within seconds, in order to change the contrast, brightness and resolution to more pleasing levels, take precise measurements quickly and view patient records in a matter of seconds, all with the result of improved care for patients as well as efficient office workflow.

All of this expense is a thing of the past with digital X-rays, because all of the archiving, viewing, and even transmission of digital images can be done on a personal computer loaded with the appropriate software.  Computed radiography, or CR, software is used to retrofit your current film X-ray system and convert it to a digital X-ray system.  You will find podiatry CR, chiropractic CR, urgent care CR and veterinary CR systems at Dicom Solutions that are affordable and scalable to suit your particular medical office’s digital imaging needs.

Physicians who own smaller medical offices are often scared away from digital X-ray systems because of the cost previously associated with these systems.  In days past, only the largest hospitals and medical facilities could afford the price tag for digital X-ray and PACS systems.  However, with the drop in all sorts of electronic costs, including personal computers and software, digital medical imaging has also a significant decrease in the cost of software and hardware components.  This means that even smaller medical offices can start with digital imaging at a size and cost that is affordable, and as the practice grows they can enlarge their digital imaging systems as they can afford to do so with the particular components that make the most sense for the type of medical practice.

In addition, there are mobile veterinary CR and urgent care CR systems that allow these physicians to take digital X-rays away from the home office.  When these systems are also loaded onto a laptop computer with wireless Internet access, it allows the digital images taken in the field to be sent to consulting colleagues or back to the home office in a matter of seconds, saving valuable time and improving patient care as well.

Urgent care DR and veterinary DR systems often need to be portable in order to take medical images of patients who may not be able to come to your home office.  Dicom Solutions has veterinary and urgent care DR imaging systems that can be scaled to suit your and your patients’ needs.  When DR systems such as these are used out in the field in conjunction with a printer, you can print digital images on the spot.  When they are connected to a laptop computer with wireless access, it allows even greater flexibility in use because you can send and receive digital medical images in DICOM format, as well as have instant access to consulting physicians. Or you can simply send the digital images you have taken back to your home office for permanent archiving.

Chiropractic and podiatry offices also benefit from podiatry DR and chiropractic DR systems.  Medical offices need an efficient storage system for their patients’ medical records that not only allows for easy and fast retrieval, but also takes into account HIPPA compliance.  For both of these reasons, many chiropractic and podiatry offices are making the change to digital medical imaging.  When you have digital images in DICOM format, you can then easily store them both on and offsite for easy recovery in the event of a disaster, and you can access the digital images quickly for day-to-day use via your office’s personal computers that are running the appropriate software and diagnostic monitors to turn them into workstations.

Dicom offers a wide range of urgent care DR, veterinary DR, chiropractic DR and podiatry DR imaging systems that work for large or small medical facilities, and are priced to fit within your budget.

Veterinarians that offer not only animal care at their home offices but also as mobile veterinary service providers will find many uses for a portable x-ray system.  In many cases, it may be impossible to bring an animal in to the home office; instead, the vet can go to the patient and take the necessary digital images needed for an accurate diagnosis.  Digital x-ray systems that are connected to a laptop computer with wireless Internet also have the capability of allowing the veterinarian in the field to send the digital images taken back to the home office for further examination, or can send them directly to a consulting veterinarian.

Not only can veterinarians use a portable x-ray device, but they are completely suitable for use with human patients as well.  Physicians who visit nursing homes must be able to provide as many services as possible outside of the home office, because these patients in many cases are unable to travel.  Portable digital x-ray units are available that weigh less than ninety pounds, and can be placed on a wheeled cart, making it easy to move the equipment in with the patients.  Narrow units are available so that turning corners is simple as well.  These portable systems are also well-designed so that they take up as little space as possible in a mobile medical unit, making it easy to pack and unpack them quickly.

Sports doctors also need ready access to x-ray equipment, and a portable x-ray system works well in this environment.  You can view images instantly when you have a laptop computer that is equipped with PACS software, and the PACS system allows you to store the digital DICOM images back at your home office.

At Dicom Solutions we offer a full line of affordable portable x-ray units, including brands like Min X-ray, Source Ray, GE AMX4 and JPI.  Visit us on our online chat at www.dicomsolutions.com for more information.

There are both urgent care CR and urgent care DR digital x-rays systems available for emergency room use.  CR systems work well for smaller medical clinics and for all medical facilities where there is a need to continue using film x-ray equipment but a desire to upgrade to digital x-ray systems, because with CR systems you can retrofit your existing film x-ray equipment, so that you can expand your digital x-ray system at your time schedule and on your budget.  DR systems take the x-rays with the highest digital resolution and provide a great choice for the urgent care room.  Both systems are portable if need be, and both are fully compatible with an urgent care PACS system.

With a PACS software system in place, you have more flexibility and versatility built in to you digital x-ray equipment.  The PACS turns a personal computer into a medical workstation suitable for viewing, distributing and archiving digital medical images.  With the addition of a RIS system, you can also include text files that can be saved in the DICOM format, the same format used to save the digital x-rays, so both reports and images can be stored in the same digital format for easy retrieval and use on the workstation, letting you focus on your patients instead of the details of digital image storage.

A digital x-ray system, unlike a film x-ray, takes only seconds to create.  This saved time not only improves efficiency, but in the urgent care environment the speed can also save lives.  Digital x-rays can also be sent on local area or wide area networks or even over the Internet to consulting physicians, leading to improved efficiency and better patient care.  Patient digital medical records can be saved in DICOM format and archived according to HIPPA rules, and retrieval is then easy using the workstation  outfitted with urgent care PACS.

Dicom Solutions offers a wide variety of urgent care digital x-ray and PACS systems suitable for all manner of medical environments, including that of urgent care and emergency rooms.

Digital X-ray and PACS systems were once affordable by only large hospitals. Now that all computer technology prices have been reduced, it has had a favorable effect on the prices that you will pay for digital x-ray equipment and software.

Podiatry departments have many options for outstanding digital x-ray equipment for image capture. Choices range from a Podiatry CR to a Podiatry DR system, and each comes with certain benefits. CR systems are the less costly of the two for initial purchase. CR takes excellent digital medical images, and is often used in a mobile teleradiology environment, where the radiologist goes to his or her patients in nursing homes, sports arenas and other off-site places. CR can also be used to retrofit your existing film radiology equipment, making for a cost-effective upgrade. DR imaging systems, on the other hand, are more expensive than CR initially. They do, however, take higher resolution digital medical images than CR systems currently can. DR is also used in mobile digital imaging situations.

In order to get the most from a digital x-ray system, many podiatry clinics also invest in Podiatry PACS. Podiatry PACS allow the busy medical office to archive as well as distribute digital medical images that are in dicom digital image format. When you consider the numerous costs involved with film images in terms of storage, retrieval and distribution, it makes sense to switch to an affordable and efficient PACS system instead.

A digital PACS system also helps to ensure that your podiatry department stays in compliance with HIPPA rules. All physicians and personnel authorized to be on the PACS system must sign in with a username and password, and an administrator can maintain this setup easily and quickly in order to preserve patient privacy. Patient medical records must also be stored safely offsite in case of disaster, so that recovery will be unhampered for better patient care, and using a digital PACS system makes it simple to accomplish this task as well.

Medical imaging distributors and systems integrators can help your podiatry office find the best Podiatry digital x-ray and PACS system most suited to your specific needs.

Chiropractic digital x-ray itself saves a great deal of time and expense in several areas. No longer will you need costly development chemicals and supplies needed for film x-rays. An image is taken via a Chiropractic X-ray digital system, and immediately it goes to a workstation or viewer on a personal computer, where you can enhance the image by using crop, rotation, zoom, or change the brightness or contrast, and determine that you have a suitable shot right away, making it more convenient for the patient as well as offering better patient care, which was not the case with time-consuming film x-rays.

Once the digital medical image has been taken, a Chiropractic PACS system also speeds up the storage and transmission of those images. Archiving of patient medical images was once a laborious task that required personnel for file maintenance, as well as cost for storage space. Now archiving digital images takes a matter of seconds. Digital medical images may be immediately stored to CD or DVD at the workstation, and those dicom-format images may also be stored in both on- and off-site databases. This makes it possible to have secure and safe patient records should you need it in the event of a disaster recovery situation, and with a personal computer you can set your preferences so that worklists and the appropriate patient files are pre-fetched and ready to go without you having to spend time on it. Distribution of digital medical images is done with the click of a computer mouse, when dicom images can be sent via local or wide area networks, and even via SSL or VPN to outside consultants. The simple task of sending patient images to other physicians used to take a long time and cost a lot when they had to be packaged and shipped by postal mail, but that is all a thing of the past with the Internet and digital imaging.

There are a variety of Chiropractic PACS systems available at affordable prices that will help your medical office work more efficiently.
