Three Uses For A Portable Digital X-Ray Machine

Many medical facilities have made the switch to digital x-ray systems.  When combined with a PACS software bundle, it enables hospitals, medical clinics, imaging centers and all types of medical establishments to capture, send, receive, view and archive their digital medical images saved in DICOM format.  Now it is possible to experience the ease and convenience of digital x-ray out in the field, because there are portable x-ray systems available.  Veterinarians, nursing homes and sports physicians can all use a portable x-ray imaging medical device to deliver better patient care right to their patients.

Veterinarians that offer not only animal care at their home offices but also as mobile veterinary service providers will find many uses for a portable x-ray system.  In many cases, it may be impossible to bring an animal in to the home office; instead, the vet can go to the patient and take the necessary digital images needed for an accurate diagnosis.  Digital x-ray systems that are connected to a laptop computer with wireless Internet also have the capability of allowing the veterinarian in the field to send the digital images taken back to the home office for further examination, or can send them directly to a consulting veterinarian.

Not only can veterinarians use a portable x-ray device, but they are completely suitable for use with human patients as well.  Physicians who visit nursing homes must be able to provide as many services as possible outside of the home office, because these patients in many cases are unable to travel.  Portable digital x-ray units are available that weigh less than ninety pounds, and can be placed on a wheeled cart, making it easy to move the equipment in with the patients.  Narrow units are available so that turning corners is simple as well.  These portable systems are also well-designed so that they take up as little space as possible in a mobile medical unit, making it easy to pack and unpack them quickly.

Sports doctors also need ready access to x-ray equipment, and a portable x-ray system works well in this environment.  You can view images instantly when you have a laptop computer that is equipped with PACS software, and the PACS system allows you to store the digital DICOM images back at your home office.

DR, or Direct Digital Radiography, is a form of digital medical imaging that is taking the medical fields by storm, and for good reason.  Direct digital radiography offers the highest resolution of any digital medical imaging currently available, and it comes with all of the cost benefits that you would expect to find when using digital imaging in a medical facility.  Direct digital radiography systems are available for small to large medical offices and hospitals, and it can be customized to work well with a variety of specialties.  Dicom Solutions offers a broad spectrum of different DR systems that will fit your budget as well as your needs, no matter your area of specialization.

Urgent care DR and veterinary DR systems often need to be portable in order to take medical images of patients who may not be able to come to your home office.  Dicom Solutions has veterinary and urgent care DR imaging systems that can be scaled to suit your and your patients’ needs.  When DR systems such as these are used out in the field in conjunction with a printer, you can print digital images on the spot.  When they are connected to a laptop computer with wireless access, it allows even greater flexibility in use because you can send and receive digital medical images in DICOM format, as well as have instant access to consulting physicians. Or you can simply send the digital images you have taken back to your home office for permanent archiving.

Chiropractic and podiatry offices also benefit from podiatry DR and chiropractic DR systems.  Medical offices need an efficient storage system for their patients’ medical records that not only allows for easy and fast retrieval, but also takes into account HIPPA compliance.  For both of these reasons, many chiropractic and podiatry offices are making the change to digital medical imaging.  When you have digital images in DICOM format, you can then easily store them both on and offsite for easy recovery in the event of a disaster, and you can access the digital images quickly for day-to-day use via your office’s personal computers that are running the appropriate software and diagnostic monitors to turn them into workstations.

Dicom offers a wide range of urgent care DR, veterinary DR, chiropractic DR and podiatry DR imaging systems that work for large or small medical facilities, and are priced to fit within your budget
