The ambulatory radiology institution - the transition from the analog to the digital system
DOUCHOVÁ, Irena
This work offers general information about digitizing an outpatient radiodiagnostic department. It presents physical principles of digital imaging and the equipment that is necessary for the transition to a new technology. The introduction explains the functional principle of memory foils, digitizers and data archiving. Some attention is also paid to economic and organizational problems related to maintaining partial operation of the analogue system at a digitalized department. At the same time, some mistakes are described that can be eliminated having greater knowledge of the system of work at a digitalized department. A comparison of the amount of finance expended on chemicals, films and servicing of a developing automatic machine with operating costs after digitizing led me to a conclusion that the cost of digitizing will not return after five years by saving finance related to the analogue process. Most of the memory foils have to be replaced after four years due to their ``worn-outness{\crqq}. The most important benefit digitizing brings is the improvement and acceleration of the access to information, which means saving of labour time. The new technology makes it possible to shorten the time of examination helping thus in critical situations.
