Contained CR Systems and PACS Designed for Private Practices

By MedImaging staff writers
Posted on 23 Jan 2008
New computed radiography (CR) digital imaging systems utilize sealed fiberoptic laser technology to obtain high-resolution, higher quality digital X-ray images at a substantially lower cost than other alternatives.

Radlink, Inc (Redondo, CA, USA), a supplier of medical imaging systems to healthcare providers, this year is introducing a range of three distinct CR Pro machines, each designed for a specific profile, and a uniquely inexpensive picture archiving and communications system (PACS) range designed and priced specifically for the private practice environment.

"By drawing on our innovative technology and the depth of professional experience in the radiology industry that we have on our team, Radlink is expanding the availability of digital informatics for all levels of medicine through uniquely targeted engineering,” said Thomas Hacking, chairman and chief executive officer of Radlink.

"This process eliminates various hardware and software that just isn't needed and only adds cost at the clinical level, which in turn enables us to deliver this new family of machines and our new PACS offering at costs well below the norm in the industry.”

The CR Pro 2000 features a CR reader that is specifically designed for two markets: the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market, for use as a CR appliance with digital radiography, as well as distributed applications for end-users with smaller budgets. The CR Pro 2000 is engineered with an upgrade path that provides all of the capabilities of the entire Radlink family of imaging systems.

CR Pro 2100 is Radlink's core CR product, based on a proprietary sealed fiberoptics design that maximizes transfer efficiency in private physician offices where low-power X-ray equipment is common. This breakthrough system provides excellent resolution to clinicians for a much lower cost than its competitors, and is a truly self-contained system that requires less maintenance and enjoys a very long life.

In a practice with multiple physicians, all digital images must be stored in a secure, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act- (HIPAA)-compliant database for future access. This requires practices to double their investment in digital imaging by purchasing an additional PACS.

Radlink is also introducing a stand-alone PACS offering specifically built and scaled for the private practice market. ThinPACS brings the necessary components of a hospital-sized PACS to the smaller private practice and imaging operation environment. This is a robust, completely standards-based medical imaging communications and storage system at less cost of other existing PACS.
