sRGB Calibration in Digital Pathology
Download White Paper Why sRGB Calibration Is Necessary for Diagnostic Displays in Digital Pathology WSI Executive Summary Whole slide imaging (WSI) workflows rely on color‑accurate visualization for primary diagnosis, consultation, and research. Digital Pathology workflows depend on controlled staining, scanning, and image presentation, however variations can occur throughout the imaging chain. If the display does […]
Breast Cancer Lifetime Risk: What Is the Tyrer-Cuzick Risk Assessment?
Do you know your Lifetime Breast Cancer Risk? Understanding your risk can help guide the conversation about appropriate screening and may help develop next steps in your care. Breast Cancer Awareness Month brings an important reminder to schedule recommended breast cancer screening. But there is another question worth asking: Do you know your lifetime risk […]
What RADPAC’s New Teleradiology Subcommittee Means for Remote Reading Displays
RADPAC launched a Teleradiology Subcommittee this summer. If you manage remote reading, this one is worth paying attention to. Kimberly Beavers, MD, a remote breast radiologist at NYU Langone Health, chairs the new group. She has been asking teleradiologists directly what the subcommittee should take on: licensure across state lines, reimbursement parity, CMS supervision flexibility, […]
Optimizing Ambient Conditions for a Home Mammography Reading Station
Download White Paper Designing a Diagnostic Breast Imaging Remote Reading Environment Lighting standards, display calibration, and ergonomic workstation guidance for breast imaging radiologists reading from home. Introduction As remote diagnostic work becomes increasingly common, radiologists performing mammography reads from home must replicate the image quality and environmental control of diagnostic workstations. One of the most […]
The Importance of Ergonomic Workstations in Radiology Work Environments
Progress in medical science can be painful. It’s no joke. Technology such as PACS and digital imaging can cause repetitive strain injuries for radiologists. And that’s just the beginning. Radiology workstations designed ergonomically can help decrease the frequency and severity of repetitive strain injury. Use of ergonomic principles can vary from simple changes to equipment […]
Benefits Of Mobile Radiology Imaging
Mobile radiology imaging services mean that certified technologists and radiologists travel to a medical facility, residence, or place of business with any equipment needed to complete a procedure and provide those services at that location. It not only includes portable X-Ray imaging but also ultrasound and EKG. Mobile services are increasing in popularity because of […]
New Advancements in X-Ray Imaging
Scintillators, nanophotonic scintillators, nanophotonics, and HiP-CT are just a few of the new terms you will hear when discussing new developments in X-ray imaging. All of these new advances in radiology help medical professionals see with greater detail and to perform analyses within the body, within the organ of interest. Scintillators have been in use […]
Comparisons of LCD Color and Monochrome Displays in Diagnostic Imaging
The types and number of imaging data handled by hospitals are increasing as we witness improvements in medical technology. This is having an impact on the type of imaging you need to use, as well as the type of medical display you need to view and analyze images. As a result, you will see combined […]
How Can Point of Care Technology Help with Your Radiology Department?
Point of Care Technology (POCT or POC), also referred to as Point of Care Testing, has significantly impacted medical care over the past 40 years. We have seen care move from the hospital to the local clinic or laboratory to the patient’s home. We have seen the tester change from doctor to nurse or technician, […]
What is DICOM in Medical Imaging?
DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. It is an internationally standardized protocol for managing and transmitting images with related data. It ensures interoperability of systems that produce, display, query, retrieve, share, send, store, print, and process medical images. Why Is DICOM in Radiology Important? Advances in imaging technology and increased use of […]
