The advances in radiology through new technology has increased significantly over the years. The introduction and improvements of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging alone has provided physicians with invaluable means to diagnose and treat their patients. However despite all the advances in medical digitization and the introduction of DICOM standards, the ability for anyone needing to view images outside of an imaging facility network is still regulated mostly by the use of Film. The technology of Automated DICOM CD Creation offers a new practical method for distributing DICOM Images in their dynamic high fidelity format to be viewed with availability of computer aided Image Diagnostic Tools (ex. Pan, Zoom, Contrast, Window leveling, & print DICOM to paper via any windows printer) on any standard computer (Windows, Mac, & Unix) with a CD-Rom drive. The unit can also be utilized for DVD archiving of images for remote or offsite storage.

PCCG presents it's Automated DICOM CD Creator, capable of receiving and querying DICOM 3.0 images from any Diagnostic DICOM Devices and transferring them to CD-Rom. The unit is like a jukebox utilizes a robotic arm operated CD-Rom publishing system capable of holding in queue over 30,000 unique individual jobs. This recording unit acquires the patient information from the DICOM file and automatically demographically labels the CD accordingly in minutes. As a DICOM Image Copying Machine it offers both the images and a DICOM Viewer toolset (an on board viewer) allowing dynamic viewing and diagnostic review of the images recorded on the CD.

The Solution includes 3 primary components.

1. Integrated DICOM browser based software
2. CD-Rom Publishing Unit with PC Controller
3. Choice of on board viewing Software
