CR Solutions For Your Small and Mid-Sized Medical Facility

In times past, digital medical imaging has only been available to large hospitals and medical facilities due to the high cost of setting these systems up.  As time has gone on, however, all sorts of computer technology has fallen dramatically in price, and this is certainly the case with digital medical imaging.  If you are looking for a cost-effective way to acquire your digital images suitable for a small or mid-sized medical facility or office, you may want to look into a cr system.  

CR system stands for computed radiography system.  Instead of using film as would a traditional radiography system, cr systems use special imaging plates placed underneath the body part which requires imaging.  A cr reader reads the image taken on the imaging plate and translates it into a digital medical image.  These digital medical images can then be viewed, archived or distributed electronically.  

There are ample benefits that come with making the switch to a CR system.  There will be no more expensive film or developing chemicals to purchase.  Better interpretations can occur because you can enhance the digital medical images quickly and easily.  Digital images save in personnel and physical costs in terms of storage, retrieval and archiving.  You can store digital images taken with a CR system on CDs or DVDs, and with the appropriate software, you can transmit them over the World Wide Web to authorized personnel, enabling consultations to occur regardless of geographical location.  CR systems can also be implemented at your preferred time schedule, because the cr system can be retrofitted to the radiology equipment that you already have, saving a great deal of money.  CR systems also can be used in mobile xray units suitable for veterinarians, sports medicine practitioners and others who must take digital images of patients away from their home offices.  

There are many popular CR solutions on the medical market today.  Kodak offers a great computed radiography system perfect for smaller medical offices that comes with a single-plate cr reader, appropriate software and a review station that operates on a personal computer.  Fuji CR solutions save on space yet still bring you superb image quality, are easy to use and allow for a high volume of digital images to be processed.  Agfa cr systems provide physicians and technicians with everything you need to take digital images of orthopedics, extremities, dental applications, pediatrics, as well as mammographies.  

For your small or mid-sized medical facility, there are CR solutions available that will fit the specific needs of your medical office at an affordable price.
