Dicom CD DVD Recording

CD Recording Stations can eliminate film, improve productivity and market your service.

One of the most useful tools in today's radiology rooms is a simple, everyday technology: a CD burner or CD Recording Station – CDRS. Think of the CDRS as basically a printer. Most imaging centers today appreciate their cost-effective ability to replace expensive and time-consuming film. Others use CDs as marketing and teaching tools, as well as inexpensive archiving systems.

DICOM CD BURNING SYSTEMS

CD burning systems for radiology are a bit more complex than the one on a home computer. A typical setup consists of:

PC networked to one or more modalities, the PACS archive, and/or one or more workstations.
CD burner with robotic arm to physically move the CDs from one burning step to another with a CD supply carousel.
Thermal or Inkjet printer that puts a custom image on the "face" of the CD.
DICOM software that allows the CD burning system to retrieve DICOM images and results from a modality or PACS archive.
DICOM viewer utility that is burned onto the CD, allowing users to view and manipulate images.

COST SAVINGS ARE AMAZING

A primary reason for using DICOM CD burners is cost efficiency, says Mike Haman, RIS/PACS coordinator for Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, Calif.

"A typical CT today can produce up to 2,000 images," he says. "That means a $500 CT exam can use up $300 worth of film. I can take that same exam and burn it on a 28-cent CD. Our CD burner saves us millions per year."

DICOM CD DVD Recording Has Become The Staple For Producing A Tangible Format Of Exchange In The Medical Field.

There are many systems and companies to choose from in this field.
Consider Three Factors When Making The Decision:

Experience and Reputation of the Company you select for the system purchase, implementation and training.
The quality, reliability and level of support offered by the hardware manufacturer and it's dealer channel.
The quality and stability of the software driving the system. Will the DICOM application function properly and meet your needs?

These three components will have a long lasting impression on how well the process of buying a new system or replacing an older one is in this confusing market.
