Digital Pathology Systems Gear Up for Prime Time
GE Healthcare and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) recently announced they were beginning a joint venture in digital pathology. Together, they formed Omnyx, LLC, which would build and market a system for digital pathology. To date, digital pathology is a market that’s only been nibbled at the edges, and is primarily the domain of microscope companies such as Zeiss, Nikon, and Olympus. However, a small number of companies, bolstered by advances in digital image-gathering, are entering what is predicted to become a $2 to $4 billion industry.

Teleradiology – A More Effective Use of Resources
With an aging population, people delaying medical procedures because of the spiraling costs associated with a privatized system and more medical students going into more profitable fields such as cosmetic surgery, the number of practicing radiologists has been shrinking even as demand is rising. Teleradiology makes access to these medical professionals easier than ever. Through the use of web based PACS (Picture Archive and Communication Systems), medical images can be distributed securely over the Internet. This is the basis of teleradiology; thanks to this increasingly-affordable technology, radiologists are no longer limited by location.

Faster, More Accurate Diagnoses With Pacs Systems
More and more, health care facilities are discovering the benefits of PACS systems when it comes to diagnosing health disorders faster and more accurately than ever before. The reason is digital imagery, which allows us to see more clearly into the human body without the need to resort to invasive procedures than ever before. However, this is only one of the benefits of modern pacs systems. Read the rest of this entry »
