Computed Radiography (CR) offers a multitude of productivity benefits over traditional analog or film-based systems, including compact digital format storage/archiving, ease of information sharing, lower cost of ownership (reusable digital media) and improved diagnostics (no loss of image quality). Yet after nearly a decade, CR is still not widely available at all of the practices and locations that could benefit from converting to digital from messy, expensive film-based processing. Today's CR systems, which are designed as centralized systems, are still too costly and too large for most locations. Even large radiology departments that have invested in centralized CR systems have to purchase and install two systems in order to provide redundancy, which adds to the cost and space required. With centralized CR systems, radiology technicians waste time running back and forth from RAD exam rooms to central processing stations, then running back to reposition the patient and re-take the image if the view isn't correct, and repeating the process all over again. On a busy day, centralized CR systems will also be a prime bottleneck with several radiology technicians waiting their turn to use the system. The answer to the expense, workflow and productivity problems associated with centralized CR is Distributed CR (D-CR)™ the clinical breakthrough that brings high-quality digital x-ray images right into the RAD room. With Orex D-CR, the Heel Pain Center at BunionBusters.com provides all of the following benefits: lower costs to patientimproved diagnostics (the ability to enhance regions of interest and manipulate images with no loss of quality)more efficient workflow to shorten patients' waiting time (no running around and bottlenecks compared to centralized CR)easy information sharing with your primary care physicianWith Orex D-CR, Dr. Eliot Sherr brings you the best treatment for your pain, quickly and affordably.
