HVRA is excited to offer, as a service to our referring healthcare providers, distribution of digitally acquired medical images via a compact disc (CD). This service is intended to provide the referring physician with a more flexible and easier review, storage, transport and display system. Soon this service will also be offered directly to patients. Each CD has the most recent patient exam along with an embedded image viewer allowing for easy viewing and image manipulation. Instructions for use are provided on the CD and within this web site. Because the images are digital, and not fixed printed images, they can be magnified and rotated as needed. The window and level, similar to brightness and contrast, can be adjusted depending on the area of interest. Electronic measurements, which are more accurate than that of the printed images, can be obtained. CD images can be stored directly with the rest of the patient's medical records rather than in a separate location. Because digitally
stored images are easier to transport, review and share with others,
additional safeguards have been put in place to insure we protect
our patients' reasonable expectations regarding privacy and confidentiality.
For this reason, we are requesting all our referring physicians
review and sign a Once the privacy
agreement is signed, referred patient exams will be available to
you via CD. If you have further questions or would like to learn
more about this new service now available, please contact |
