aycan xray-print™ - The DICOM print solution for your PACS

Print DICOM images on plain paper

A SIMPLE, LOGICAL WAY FOR SHARING RADIOLOGICAL IMAGES

The trend towards filmless imaging has, ironically, created growing physician demand for hard-copy images. PACS may improve report turnaround time, increase radiologist' efficiency, and eliminate film, but it has failed to satisfy many referring physicians. They don't want to search databases, worry about infrastructure, deal with CD's or have their office bandwidth choked by huge images files.
Consequently, hospitals and clinics are seeking inexpensive ways to produce non-diagnostic prints of sufficient quality that physicians can use for treatment planning and consultation with colleagues and patients. Ideally, it should be easy to incorporate into patients records.

 

aycan's xray-print™ solution lets you print DICOM images on plain paper at near film quality. It fits seamlessly into both traditional and PACS workflows to provide a low-cost solution for sharing imaging with referral physicians and patients.

  • Environmentally Safe - paper eliminates chemical-based film equipment and associated environmental compliance activities
