We are electronically linked to our nearest referral hospital and they can
view all our radiology.
For referral elsewhere we email the relevant images. 

Our imaging department is in the process of moving to a web-based system
which can be accessed from anywhere; this will be the logical answer in the
future as all you need then is a fast internet connection.

The CTs I have seen on CDs carry a small software program that loads first
to enable you to read them. The main problem is when an officious IT
department puts an administrator block on the computers so the software
can't load.

If there are going to be serious issues we download as .jpegs, which are an
utter pain to read I know, but better than nothing at all, especially if
sent with a note highlighting which slices match with the major pathology.

Could OSIRIX get round this?

Happy New year to all!
 
A quick one:
 
What do people do regarding transferred patients coming in with imaging on
CD and radiology refusing to read (cannot double dip, hence no pay, hence no
read)...
 
Do you rescan the patient only to have it now read by the happy
radiologist?...
Read the imaging yourself?...
Do you have a system in place where imaging from outside can be accessed by
your own radiologist, i.e. function on a same database system?...
 
thanks,
 
Joe
