The Impact of Digital Imaging Workstations on Workflow
Last two decades have witnessed a colossal shift in technologies which is evident in almost every industry. The transformation also occurred in the medical field, bringing more accuracy and productivity in the treatment and diagnosis of ailments and diseases. The digitalization of radiology imaging has actually improved the quality of diagnosis and the workflow in laboratories. With the advent of newer processor technologies, multiple functions can be carried out at higher speeds on radiology workstations with one CPU core that has a single chip installed in it. These types of CPUs are known as multi-core CPUs which are forming the basis of single core, dual core, Core2Duo and quad core. Healthcare Standards in Digital Imaging: For better management, exchange and integrating medical data, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the American College of Radiologists (ACR) developed DICOM, a cooperative standard that allows imaging system compatibility by
