Film less radiology reading rooms

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Radiologists read X rays, digital images, ultrasounds of the patients and then interpret to diagnose and treat the disease. They also consult physicians and help them decide the course of action. Most radiologists are in radiology reading rooms, interpreting images and reading reports. Unlike other physicians, their interaction with patients on a daily basis is minimal.

Like other areas, technology has proven to be a boon for this field also. New imaging machines and radiological equipments are there which use new technologies. PACS is the latest in this field. PACS is an acronym for picture archiving and communication system. These are servers which store, retrieve and present images. Orthopedic PACS help orthopedic surgeons in analyzing, archiving and pre operative planning.

Medical industry generates lot of wastes. Among them is radiology waste which involves a huge amount of x ray films, spoiled or used. Earlier, X ray was such a time consuming process, which was, at times, taken multiple times if the film was lacking clarity. When all over the efforts are on to reduce or recycle wastes, PACS is highly relevant as it has reduced the need of manual filing and retrieval of X- ray films. X-ray film recycling can be done by several X ray film handlers, which recycle spoiled or used X ray films.

Choosing Gifts

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

It is that time of year when we are thinking about what gifts to buy our friends and relatives for Christmas. I tend to ask people what they want because personally I do not like surprises and would much rather give and receive useful presents rather than something which will not be used r is a waste of money. I tend to surprise children though, because they tend to like most things. I have been looking at some Dr Seuss games for my children as they really like playing games together and I think they will be a great way to get the family all doing something together over the holiday season. My nieces are at the age where they love Disney but are little old for toys and so I have been wondering whether to get them some Disney collectables. They may prefer the money so that they can buy something that they like and so I will ask them in order to find out. I think that one of them might be already collecting something like the precious moments figurines or something like that so I will have to check with her mother. I think that it is really important to make the right choice with a gift as it can make a big difference to Christmas.
