aycan Installs DICOM Paper-Print Solutions At Desert Radiologists In Southern Nevada
solution saves film costs and improves communication with customers
aycan, a recognized worldwide leader in medical imaging, announced recently the successful installation of four aycan xray-print solutions at Desert Radiologists' diagnostic imaging facilities throughout the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
Desert Radiologists chose aycan xray-print, a vendor neutral DICOM paper-print solution, to replace film printers in four of its digital imaging facilities to help improve communication with referring physicians and patients and reduce costs. Compatible with PACS and modalities using the DICOM 3.0 standard, the aycan xray-print solutions fit seamlessly into Desert Radiologists' existing workflow.
aycan's expert knowledge of DICOM, their integration, post-installation service and support was an integral key in the selection process. "We chose aycan for their ability to understand our requirements," said Mike Reardon, Information Services Director at Desert Radiologists. "They took the time to fully assess our situation and offer just the right solution and implementation plan for us."
aycan xray-print prints images on plain paper in color or black and white at less than 10 cents per sheet. Customers replacing film with paper also achieve additional savings through the elimination of expenses associated with the special handling, storage, and transportation of film.
"Hospitals and imaging centers are seeking inexpensive ways to produce non-diagnostic prints of sufficient quality that physicians can use for treatment planning and consultation with colleagues and patients," said Frank Burkhardt, aycan Director, North & Latin American Operations. "aycan xray-print meets that need, allowing health care professionals to easily and cost effectively print, share, review, annotate, and store high-quality images."
aycan xray-print hardware and software are optimized for medical imagery, and features, such as Presentation Look-Up Tables (PLUT), are easily accessed to set defaults and adjust image quality output settings such as brightness, gray scale, and contrast for each modality. Introduced in 1996, aycan xray-print has over 800 customers worldwide.
aycan will be demonstrating its aycan xray-print and other solutions in their booth at this year's RSNA in Chicago, November 27th through December 1st, 2011.
