There's a lot of talk about PACS, digital imaging and DICOM. It's no longer a debate about whether you should move away from film or if the proper digital imaging technology exists, but rather when and how. Until recently, either a PACS (Picture Archive Communication System) or RIS (Radiology Information System) have been a costly investment which did not extend the significant cost savings that could be seen in other industries such as radiology. In the past, it would have taken years before a return on your investment.

Now, more and more orthopedic, chiropractic, radiology and podiatry centers are seeing the advantages of digital imaging at 1/3 of the cost. Taking your orthopedic center digital provides fine diagnostic quality images and do so faster, using fewer resources than traditional x-ray film.

Our solutions help to store, distribute, diagnose and share these images with owners and referring doctors in an organized and cost-effective manner. Our products are easy to install system and provided complete training without major disruption to your practice.

Our solutions are based on the international standard of DICOM. What this means is that if you select solutions that use this standard, you will not be locked into one vendor's solution as your practice grows or changes. This helps you to remain in control.

Dicom Solutions is the answer for a cost-effective, easily maintained PACS for Orthopedic Centers. We take all the key elements of our large medical PACS solutions and package them in a rational size for orthopedic practices.

We give you all the same functionality of a big hospital-based PACS network, without the costly price tag that has deterred many podiatry practices to think twice about PACS.

Diagnostic quality imaging is a very important part of creating a successful Veterinary practice as well. Dicom Solutions specializes in the ability to offer a variety of specialized products to meet your particular needs. We offer full X-Ray and rad room set ups, as well as digital X-Ray options such as CR (Computed Radiography) or DR (Digital Radiography) technology.
