- A Cost

Medical professionals at smaller mammography screen clinics and offices are sometimes at a disadvantage when it comes to radiology information systems, or RIS. These systems are very costly, and thus typically only the largest hospitals have them at their disposal. There is now a less expensive solution for radiology information systems, and it is the Candelis imagegrid PACS and RIS.PACS refers to picture archive and communication system, and the Candelis pacs makes it possible for multiple doctors and mammography screen clinics to get on the system and use it to send and store patient images. candelis pacs allows images to be read at volumetric imaging workstations, which can also be used to read images from multiple modalities, including CT, or computed tomography scans and MRI, magnetic resonance imaging.
RIS PACS is an integrated system that allows you to smoothly process and access work in clinics and hospitals that focus on mammography screen appointments. Internet access makes all of this connectivity possible.
From the beginning to the end of a patient examination, you will be able to process the patient information efficiently. RIS PACS allows for patient registration, which will help to streamline the workload of your office staff.
The candelis imagegrid also makes it easy for you to schedule procedures that your patients need quickly and simply. Patient registration, necessary for first time patients visiting your office, is ordinarily a time consuming effort for the office staff, but with RIS access the task is performed with no wasted effort. Doctors and nurses will be able to enter in relevant patient information, including allergies and other statistics, with haste by using this program, information which can be added to each time a patient visits. You will be able to schedule multiple procedures at the same time, and that, along with an online appointment book that allows for flexible appointments to be created, makes your paper trail much easier for patients and office staff to get the best out of at each patient visit.
The mammography clinic is an ideal environment for which the pacs workstations were made. Pacs workstations allow radiology images to be viewed from multiple workstations by radiologists, technologists, and other staff. Working on local or wide area network, even virtual private network connections, your mammo viewer allows all of the necessary parties to access and retrieve patient images for diagnosis and order entry. Radiologists will find the mammo viewer very easy to use, because it allows for built in dictation and quickly brings up the reports you need. Mammogram patient processing and information storage and retrieval are easier and less expensive to work from and access with online medical image devices.
