Merge E-Film
Merge E-Film Medical Imaging:
CAD / CAM SERVICES, Inc. medical division scans all types of X-rays. We can scan up to 14 x 17” film and recognize down to a 44mm Spot size. We support most any PACS system, including those from Cemax-Icon's division of Eastman Kodak, GE Medical Systems, Marconi Medical Systems (formerly Picker Medical Systems), Mitra Imaging Incorporated, and Siemens Medical Systems.
Image compression has always been important and a significant bottle neck in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) systems. We therefore directly support Dicom, and a new emerging standard from LizardTech that is offering up to 50-1 image compression! This allows a standard size film to reduced to less than a one (1) megabit image! This directly relates to quickly sharing loss less images over the Internet, and other departments.
Merge E-Film
Our system, technology and process can eliminate most or all network and traffic problems when you consider a PACS system. Imagine having 60,000 X-ray images all on-line, and immediately accessible to your remote doctors, and storing everything on a single 45 gig hard drive!
