The Incredible Journey

Technology helping or hindering...

New technology is helping to overcome some of the communication barriers that exist in health care today. The recent addition of computers replacing film in diagnostic areas has doubled the number of files being read in one day. There is no longer any wait time between the time the X-ray, MRI, or CT scan are taken. The physician is able to call up the results quickly and directly to any computer screen, regardless of his/her location. This not only allows the radiologist to read double the number of diagnostic images, but also speeds up the treatment to patients.
