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 radiological and other medical 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.
 
EXTRAORDINARY SAVINGS
90% cost reduction - off current hard copy medical imaging cost
Low transportation cost - eliminate expensive courier costs, paper images can be sent through regular mail.
No expensive film jackets - paper can be folded to standard sizes.
Reduced labor cost - associated with tracking, filing, and transporting film.
Environmentally Safe - paper eliminates chemical-based film equipment and associated environmental compliance activities.

SIMPLE AND DIRECT COMMUNICATION
For referring physicians AND patients - additional copy for patients (marketing!)
Annotate and mark - paper can be annotated to clarify diagnostic results and descriptions
Independence of light boxes - paper images can be shared "anywhere" for meaningful discussion.

EASE OF USE
Operated like a film camera - no difference in operation of a paper printer vs. a film laser camera. (no time intensive special training, same workflow)
Easy file and store - paper can be easily filed and stored with other patient records.

EXCELLENT QUALITY
Presentation Look-Up Tables(PLUT) - Allows you to set defaults and adjust images quality output settings (brightness, gray scale, contrast, etc)
Near diagnostic quality - industry benchmark quality.
Use of color - images such as 3-D, US and NM can be printed in color.
No light sensitivity - unlike film, paper prints are not degradable by direct sunlight - Xerox guarantees quality of paper prints for 15 years

OPTIMIZED INTEGRATION
Fully DICOM 3.0 Compliant - Images can be received from any modality and then printed on a certified aycan printer
