DICOM/PACS Medical Imaging
 

PACS refers to Picture Archiving and Communications System. PACS is considered as the global benchmark in the niche of diagnostic imaging. PACS allows medical images created in the form of scans and x-rays to be stored electronically.

Is 'Diagnostic Imaging' different from 'Medical Imaging'?

A Brain Imaging Software performs many of the core functions involved in a brain imaging study. Please understand that brain imaging software is incorporated into the basic kind of brain imaging technology being used. While some are compatible with MRI, some work with PET only while some are compatible with both.

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography or SPECT is among the standard imaging tests used in the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders. SPECT is also called Nuclear Imaging Testing. This is because it involves the use of a nuclear, radioisotope that is injected into the blood. The activity of this agent within the brain tissue helps to assess various types of brain functions.

Brain Imaging is among the most recommended of diagnostic tools in the treatment of neurological disorders. It allows insight into the functional and structural components of the brain that are suspected of malfunctioning. This helps to create a more incisive and objective diagnostic pathway, i.e.

Nuclear Heart Scanning is among the standardized and most established of cardiac testing technologies. It used for diagnosis, management and prevention of heart problems, including heart disease, cardiomyopathy and heart attacks. There are two, main types of nuclear heart scanning procedures:
 
1. Single Positron Emission Computed Tomography

Diagnostic Imaging presents a specialized niche in the field of healthcare services. It refers to all the technologies that are used by physicians for getting a real-life view of various body organs. Diagnostic Imaging methods use a simple principle for achieving this objective, i.e. they create images that are accurate representations of the structural or functional aspects of a body organ.

Heart Scanning is the usual term used to refer to Nuclear Heart Scan which is essentially a medical test aimed at gauging the overall health of the human heart. Nuclear Heart Scan is a safe and painless procedure wherein the slightest of discomfort comes forth during the phase of injecting a radioactive material that is also called a Tracer.

A Neurological Examination is aimed at evaluating the sensory and motor skills of an individual. This essentially means measuring the functioning of cranial nerves and the kind of functionalities neurological pathways define in a human being such as speech, hearing, muscular coordination, bodily balance, mental acuity and behavioral changes. There are many kinds of neurological examinations.
