A PACS Admin’s Life

One man takes on the world of PACS, RIS, dicom, and all that is digital imaging.

Importance of Testing Upgrades

Mammo viewer… progress is good

Intelerad really won us over years ago with their responsive communication. In sharp contrast to the other vendor under heavy consideration at the time (Agfa), we saw our questions answers and our concerns addressed in a reasonable timeframe time and again. I imagine a significant number of other customers would ...

Mammo viewer not ready for prime time

[Note: an update to this has been posted] A while back Intelerad put a bug in our Radiologist's ear about a mammo viewer they were working on. We had been using Threepalm's offering, which was a fairly nascent offering as it was. The biggest gripe we had with 3palm was that ...

PACS Is Finally Here!

Time goes quickly when you are busy deploying a PACS and building a RIS! Much has been achieved, and much more is still in progress. Intelerad had two people onsite for our first rollout, this one at our main clinic. The PACS side of things went pretty smoothly. Our only real issue ...

Comparison: Intelerad vs Fuji

Here are some of our findings between these two products thus far: – Pre sales communication: Intelerad has been a delight to deal with.

Televox: Nifty Service, Below Par Implementation

In an effort to decrease our No Show rate, we have enlisted the assistance of Televox, to automatically place appointment confirmation calls. We had done reference checks (which I highly recommend you do!) and were told to watch out for snags during implementation. Otherwise, the feedback was stellar. Sure enough, ...

Disaster Planning… how much is enough? Part 4

One of our initiatives right now is to build a Disaster Recovery site. Unfortunately, those cost money. So the people signing the checks want to know what the project is going to provide before approving funds. This is where things get tricky. It is a DR site, it is going ...

Disaster Planning… how much is enough? Part 3
