Smart Solutions, Smarter Performance

Medical Grade display systems offers best of radiologist’s viewing experience. For each modality
and method of use, the correct display monitor needs to be deployed. Monitor viewing station
or monitor display system play an important role in modern radiology practice. A certain
amount of technical knowledge is useful when making purchasing decisions since the right
choice of equipment can have a great impact on the accuracy, efficiency, and speed in the
radiology department.
 Medical-grade display systems  http://www.pacsmart.in have certain unique features that are essential for achieving accuracy
and efficiency in the diagnosis of lesions. Medical displays maintain consistent contrast over a much
larger angle and reduce the deleterious effects of ‘noise’ caused by luminescence variations and
color variations. Medical-grade displays can automatically calibrate themselves, thereby matching
the contrast to every level of brightness.
Monitor displays are an integral part of today's radiology work environment, attached to
workstations, USG, CT/MRI consoles and PACS terminals. Various performance parameters in a
medical grade monitor include screen size, aspect ratio, resolution, portrait than landscape view,
grayscale and color grades, bit depth, luminance etc.
It is recommended to choose medical grade display systems as it will enable correct diagnosis and
reporting without missing even small lesions. http://www.pacsmart.in

A reflection on Imaging Healthcare

Indian healthcare has jumped boundary by leaps and has taken itself to be synonym with best bet for investment.  Pegged at around USD 6.5 billion currently and is expected to grow to around USD 8.5-9.0 billion in next couple of years, Indian medical equipment and devices market is most lucrative opportunity for any investor. Though compared to China within region, The USA and Europe, Indian medical technology is lowly valued, it is  not far away from fast growth to equal or take over China and other emerging markets in the region. With customized regulatory policies, research and investment environment, positive moves by govt. to reduce or nullify high customs duty structure will facilitate expected growth and make India as the hub for local manufacturing and export oriented region.

Estimated at around USD 0.5 billion, and contributing almost 10-11% of total Indian medical equipment and devices market, imaging diagnostics has produced stellar performance over last 6-7 years. Shift in disease portfolio from communicable disease to NCD has fueled the growth of Imaging Diagnostics market. Moreover, internet and legal ecosystem has ignited the need for evidence based treatment and also optimize infrastructure cost.



  

Next Step in Radiodiagnosis

Radiology has become an integral part of the comprehensive healthcare system. With it, patient survives and without it, nothing exist. So is the power of Radiodiagnosis. Though started in a very humble way with an x-ray, it has lived larger than life size now and is almost impossible to be without it.
Technology and embracing technology both have contributed to the success of radiodiagnosis and tribute to all radiologists, technologists, support staff who have relentlessly worked hard to equip themselves for the latest technology and pass the benefit to patients. Thousands and Thousands of patients are saved/life improved life, thanks to Radiologists and their diagnosing skills.

CURA has been proud to  be associated with radiologists and team over 15 years, supporting them in their endeavour to provide best of healthcare to patients.

Disc Publisher- Transforming Performance of Radiologists

Medical imaging changes everything. From a standpoint of radiologists, last 3 decades have been revolutionary. Innovations such as CT, MRI, Digital Mammography,  Tools for  interventional procedures etc. have changed the way Imaging diagnostics have been reported.Though the world has shifted the gear to digital, most of the healthcare institutes imaging diagnostic reporting system rely on films. Though the practice of using films is continuing, reasons vary from slow adoption of technology to ease of diagnosis to cost to records purpose, referring practice and so on.http://cura.http://www.pacsmart.in

While it is imperative to keep the cost of healthcare in check, it is equally important to move up the value chain in technology, providing enhanced patient care and services. Also with increase in international medical tourism, aspiring for accreditation of national and international certifications, healthcare providers in India especially corporate, high end private as well as government institutes should look at providing complete digital solutions.
In Radiology department, use of image viewing tool is as significant as diagnosis itself. So far, radiology departments in most of the healthcare providers use x-ray films as image viewing tool. It is high time, radiology department shift to digital world by using world class Medical CD publisher as digital viewing system , Digitizer etc as conversion from film  tool and Medical grade monitors. Digitization will bring the much needed transformation in imaging ecosystem.http://cura.http://www.pacsmart.in
