Mobile Imaging

Those physicians who use mobile imaging providers to perform imaging studies outside of their practice can vastly improve the turnaround time by using a Communicator Gateway to forward the study data immediately after the study is performed. No more waiting for the study to be delivered to the office by costly courier service. The images can be reviewed by the physician remotely before the patient leaves, thus ensuring that sufficient data is collected to make a definitive diagnosis. The same benefits also apply to the situation where a technician travels to a remote clinic which already has one or more imaging modalities, to perform the imaging studies.  

Benefits

• The study can be validated almost immediately to ensure that studies performed remotely are diagnostic, thereby avoiding repeat studies.
• The physician does not have to be in the office to review the exams as long as an Internet connection is available.
• The costs and delays inherent in using courier services can be eliminated completely.
• Remote studies can be downloaded and stored on the local PACS so that all patient studies are stored in one location.
