Radiologists of most medical institutions which already completed the transition to digital technologies and to PACS perform their diagnosis directly
on the screen of dedicated workstations.
Nevertheless, there is still the need to take medical images out of the hospital, or out of the boundaries of the hospital’s network, for instance to provide
copies of the exam images to the patient, or to accompany the report for the referring physician. A "hard copy" of the acquired medical images is certainly
the most immediate and effective mean for most "users".
Today’s diagnostic digital modalities (CR, CT, MRI, US, etc.) are usually only able to print medical images to specialized and expensive film printers supporting
the DICOM protocol, which is a universally-used communication standard in the medical imaging world. On the other side, hospitals and imaging centers all around
the world need to reduce every-day costs, and x-ray films imply high production, storage, shipping and disposal costs.
The DICOMJet software, coupled with an appropriate Windows-compatible printer, allows obtaining a high-quality and cost-efficient DICOM printing solution
for the radiology department and the other hospital departments. Paper hard-copies of exams images can be easily produced in a cost-efficient way.
DICOMJet enables your office Windows-compatible printer to receive DICOM print requests directly from digital modalities, thus supporting a low-cost paper printing solution dedicated to medical imaging. Here are some of the key features of the DICOMJet software:
DICOMJet now supports the Xerox Extended Interface Platform (EIP) technology, as an optional software module. Many DICOMJet
features are available directly on the touch screen of EIP-capable Xerox devices, thus delivering an extremely streamlined and optimized workflow.
In addition, some exclusive image acquisition and DICOMization features have been introduced in the DICOMJet EIP application.
Here is a short summary of the features of the DICOMJet EIP application module:
