 Back in the 80s, digital radiography was a brand new thing. Now, it’s competing with conventional screen radiography in all radiographic applications. As a result, more and more rad rooms are being upgraded to digital. In fact, experts predict that tele-health and tele-radiology will be the norm within the next decade, with doctors meeting remotely with patients to review images, lab results and reports.

 The reality is, radiologists have to jump on the digital bandwagon. Private practices and urgent care facilities now transfer documents, lab results, images and reports seamlessly. Even hospitals and healthcare networks use software as a service companies (SaaS) to manage health records electronically with EHR (electronic health records). Medical images from radiologists need to be digital so healthcare team members and hospitals can share information and collaborate.

Old To New  It used to be very expensive to upgrade a rad room from traditional to digital. It took a lot of players to get it done, including information technology departments, medical imaging departments and biomedical engineering departments. Now it’s an easier, less expensive process. But, patient radiology reports and image archival devices will need to be integrated with a hospital’s electronic health records to make sure everything is safe and secure.

There Is An Affordable Way To Upgrade Rad Rooms To Digital  The cost of a new digital rad room will cost from $95,000-$130,000—and then you have to add accessories and software packages. The good news is you don’t have to create a state of the art rad room in order to take digital images.  You can easily upgrade a rad room to digital with digital detectors with state-of-the-art flat panel detector technology at a much more affordable cost. And by not buying new equipment, you’ll avoid the quick depreciation and any manufacturer recalls, which can hurt your margins.
