In today's world technology is constantly changing at a very rapid rate. These kinds of changes are affecting the medical fields around the world in a big way; the changes are more evident especially in the radiology areas. Increased changes and upgrade have raised the levels of awareness of what is going on in our bodies through the CT scans, and also the sharing of client's diagnosis information through the mammography viewers and also PACs systems. Through the Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communications, doctors have been able to effectively and efficiently make quick and correct diagnostic evaluations and pass the imaging information, reports and also images electronically. The use of these services greatly reduces the need for the film in most of the diagnostic imaging. Through this technology, computerized information technology is used to schedule, store and organize the diagnostic imaging and also the patient information.

 

Viewers are also in a position to manage imaging workflow, manage the workload and also aboutthe billing information. The paperwork based transactions are minimized and also all kinds of film images. Patient information is provided at a workstation with the correct images and information and reports associated with the right patient.

 

Picture Archiving and Communications system are used to store diagnostic images and X-rays. This reduces the need for fusing films and also facilitates the quick access to all patients' information, reports and images. PACS also improves the services being offered by the service providers, again through the access of the client's reports and images. There is a reduced number of duplicated images since the earlier results are electronically stored and available to the medical professionals if and when they need to use them when providing and making the diagnosis and also when making the treatment decision to the patients. Through PACS the information is shared through the internet. It also eliminates and doubts as to where the test was done because all the reports on the results are shared electronically and circulated to all other facilities. This makes it quite easy for the physicians and clinicians to follow up on the patients as they can easily access the chronological views aboutthe patient's and their radiology history.

 

It makes it quite easy for the administrative personnel because the management of the information and the storage of diagnostic resources is made easier. It reduces the cost tremendously by slashing the costs related with film managing and lost films, and lack of access to information. This also makes work more efficient and solving of clients' problems becomes easy. For more info about radiology, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiology.
