Digital Radiology: Revolutionizing the Practice of Radiology
At CMI Imaging, we use the exceptional technology of digital radiology to provide referring physicians with enhanced diagnostic ability and increased efficiency. As a result, physicians are able to provide improved service to their patients.

Digital Imaging Offers Benefits Over Traditional Diagnostic Methods
Digitally processed images eliminate the need for film processing, resulting in quicker turnaround of study results. During an exam, radiology images are sent to a central hard drive where they are saved in a digital format. Our radiologists, who are present during the exam, are then able to view images on a computer immediately after an exam is completed. And, if additional scans are necessary, these can be ordered while the patient is still in the exam room.

Using sophisticated software, our radiologists can enhance or enlarge specific areas of the digital scan, a capability that is difficult or impossible with traditional x-ray film. As a result, diagnostic ability is significantly enhanced.

1 - Images captured by MRI, Spiral CT, X-ray/Fluoroscopy, C-Arm

2 - Images sent to our central server

3 - Images are immediately available to radiologists to study images using sophisticated

software.

4 - Study results and images can be sent to referring physician VIA Fax, CD-ROM, or paper copy.

Digital images can be printed on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of laser paper, which allows for easier handling than traditional film. Printed images can be included in patient records, used for referrals to other physicians and in consultations with patients.
