Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool in fields as diverse as cybersecurity and chess programming in order to automate redundant tasks or discern patterns quickly. The utility of machine learning tech is that it gets better over time with very little human input. As a result, humans shift their energy and attention to…
Here’s everything you need to know about the future of cloud-based PACS for medical imaging. Key Takeaways: PACS (picture archiving and communication system) solutions represent one of the fastest-growing healthcare technology segments. Cloud-based PACS solutions provide healthcare organizations with anywhere, anytime access to imagery databases. New data security requirements and the increasing need…
It’s shocking to think that just a few short decades ago, mammography was a rare procedure offered by few radiologists. In fact, the first completely dedicated mammography unit was developed by Gros in France In The Middle 1960s. Needless to say, things are a lot different now. Mammography is taken seriously by both physicians…
Open source software runs the world. The browser you’re reading this post on, your desktop at home and even your smartwatch are all sustained by software which is open source. But what exactly is open source software? The Oxford dictionary defines it as “Software for which the original source code is made freely available…
We’re strong believers in Augmented Reality, or AR for short. The software we offer at DICOM Director, like Intravision XR, is infused with this technology because we’ve observed how it improves patient outcomes. Intravision XR allows doctors to view anatomical structures in complete detail. This detail includes the spatial relationships between whole organs themselves and…
PACS, or Picture Archiving and Communication System, is a combination of different devices working together to digitize films and store them. Prior to PACS, physical films required large storage areas for housing. Digital PACS is far superior in cost and ease of use compared to physical storage. With the increasing expenses of operating on-site…
Medical imaging is critical for the detection and evaluation of cancer and other diseases. Routine screenings can reveal cancers or other afflictions, even when they not directly tested for. Using imaging, Radiologists must be able to assess disease path overtime to supply the best patient care. Radiology and imaging have made leaps into the future by implementing groundbreaking methods of capturing images. Yet, throughout all this innovation, the actual scan transfer of patient…
