Inability to easily and quickly access patient X-rays and films for immediate diagnosis and treatment. Proprietary teleradiology solutions cost millions of dollars that only major medical facilities can afford. Reliance on an audio device to communicate visual data significantly increases the risk of misinterpretation. Doctors drop in film, click a button, and within minutes, the image is ready for review over a secure Web connection. An affordable solution for virtually any institution.
Countless patients benefit from faster, more accurate diagnoses and treatment.
Introduced in March at this year's American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons annual conference, eTrauma is now online in some of the most prestigious institutions across the country. The images are ultimately stored on a centralized Macintosh Server G4 using WebSTAR software, which quickly serves images over the Web and provides lock-tight security for protecting patient information. Oftentimes surgeons want X-rays or films for second opinions from the doctors they respect most. A doctor in rural Kansas may want to consult with a specialist in New York concerning the treatment of a complex pelvic fracture. Now he or she can just drop the film into the scanner, type in a few notes, and click send.
