RIS/PACS |
(Radiology Information System/Picture Archiving and Communication System): A PACS enables nearly instant access to images
and patient data within radiology. Together
with a RIS and other clinical information systems,
images can be integrated with the radiology report
and with other patient information systems (such as
laboratory,pharmacy, cardiology, and nursing reports.
Now with this new service:
- No physically carrying results
- Accurate results
- More time to read studies
- Results available on cd
- Results communicates with all clinics

MRI |
CT |
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging):
MRI is a test that uses a magnetic field and
pulses of radio wave energy to provide pictures
of organs and structures inside the body. |
(Computerized Tomography):
CT sometimes called CAT scan, uses special x-ray
equipment to obtain image data from different
angels around the body, then uses computer
processing of the information to show a
cross-section of body tissues and organs. Images
can also be formatted to 3D images. |

Ultrasound |
Vascular Studies |
| Ultrasound is a test that uses reflected sound
waves to produce an image of organs and other
structures in the body. |
A Doppler ultrasound test uses reflected sound
waves to evaluate blood as it flows through
blood vessel. It helps doctors evaluate blood
flow through the major arteries and veins of the
arms, legs, and neck. |

Echocardiograms |
Bone Densitometry |
| Echocardiography (echo or echocardiogram) is a
type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched
sound waves to produce an image of the heart. |
Bone densitometry is an x-ray-like test that
quickly and accurately measures the density of
bone. It is used primarily to detect osteopenia
or osteoporosis. |
|
Mammography |
| A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast used to
detect breast cancer. It usually involves two
x-rays of each breast. Using a mammogram, it is
possible to detect a tumor that cannot be felt. |
