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

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
