Imaging centers routinely screen thousands of mammograms each year. If this is the case with your imaging center, it makes sense to utilize the power of the latest computer technology in order to help you work efficiently and effectively every time you deal with a mammography screen. Many imaging centers need a mammography machine that offers them the specialized tools they need in order to improve their workflow as well as afford better patient care.

High-end viewers used at the mammography workstation utilize web-based applications. This is helpful for improving office productivity for a variety of reasons, but most notably because you will only need one viewer appliance that can then be accessed by physicians on your local area network or wide area network, as well as those on a virtual private network. Multiple physicians may use the appliance at the same time without having to wait, which also helps to improve how much work can be accomplished each day.

With a workstation of this type, your office administrators can also guarantee that the imaging center will be able to stay within the rules as set out by HIPPA. This means that patient confidentiality can be maintained with administrated usernames and passwords, helping to meet a requirement of the HIPPA regulations.

This type of workstation also enhances the actual handling and enhancing of the digital medical images. These systems can create a radiologist worklist and offer fast query and retrieval of studies. You can view multiple digital images at the same time, and there are mammography hanging protocols in place appropriate to your work. You can set the workstation software to retrieve relevant prior digital images to your custom specifications, and you can also define the mammography report flow, with BIRADS reporting available, all designed for the busy imaging center with a focus on mammograms.

The workstation allows you to process and view the digital images as required. You will have the ability to zoom, mirror, rotate and pan the images, and view images in succession. You can make, add, edit and move annotations on the digital images, and your work is made even easier when the software adds reference lines and offers measurement tools for your use. With a web-based system, you can send and receive studies, and you can archive the images on a PACS system as well. When the system is attached to a printer, hard copies of the studies can also be made.

The speed and versatility in use of the mammography workstation is what helps busy imaging centers to improve their workflow over the course of a day.
