Medical Image
Viewing and Storage
The manner in which medical professionals view and permanently store medical images
has changed dramatically. Traditionally, medical images were processed and developed
on radiographic film. Now, the use of computer technologies like Picture Archiving
and Communication Systems (PACS) allow medical images to be processed, interpreted,
stored, and distributed as digital files directly to a computer.
This type of advanced communication technology allows multiple medical images to
be sent directly to a computer workstation. At the workstation, the Radiologist
can review and manipulate the medical images for interpretation purposes. A robust
PACS enables the Radiologist to manipulate the medical images as needed so that
the diagnostic information is optimized. This type of medical communication system
also allows for timely consultation between the Radiologist and the patient’s referring
physician that can expedite the care and treatment the patient receives.
If a patient needs to take their images to a referring physician directly, the patient
may pick up an image CD at the MIMA Radiology / Sheridan location. Please call ahead
of time to request this service at 321-725-4500 Ext. 7222. The Radiology department
requires a 48-hour notice for all CD requests.
