MAM Medical CD-R |
|
The inherent stability of MAM's patented
Phthalocyanine dye means that MAM Medical discs last longer than conventional
CD-R media. Accelerated aging studies project longevity of our
gold CD-R of more
than 100 years, far in excess of any legally mandated archive period.
This dye formulation also provides excellent performance at the
high recording speeds used in medical applications. MAM Medical
discs are certified for use in all high speed CD recorders.
Some filmless imaging suites utilize a CD recorder which requires
the discs to be placed in a caddie. To support these users, MAM
Medical discs are available in a durable, one-piece caddie which
has been tested and approved by all the major CD recorder manufacturers.
The MAM Medical caddie is robustly constructed of high quality
materials to protect the writeable surface of the discs.
All the manufacturing and packaging of MAM Medical discs is done
under cleanroom conditions. Every single disc undergoes a 100% inspection
before it can be shipped. MAM has rejected random sampling techniques
as simply not stringent enough for medical applications. This is
our guarantee to the user that each MAM Medical disc is the finest
engineer media available.
The DICOM (Digital Information and Communications in Medicine) Standard
is a set of rules that allow medical images and associated information
to be exchanged between imaging equipment, computers and hospitals.
The standard establishes a common language that permits medical data
produced on one vendor's machine to be available for use on the digital
system of another vendor. The DICOM Standard evolved through meetings
between medical imaging companies (represented through the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association) and representatives from major
medical societies including the American College of Cardiology,
American College of Echocardiography, European Society of Cardiology,
and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology.

Why Switch from Film to CD-R? |
|
In the current hospital environment, there must
be compelling economic and clinical motivations for investing in
new technology. Digital archive and exchange of clinical data on
CD-R offers significant advantages:
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES
- Reduce procedure costs
- Increase throughput & productivity
- Consolidate of computing resources
- Reduce of staffing & storage requirements
- Eliminate expensive and toxic chemicals
CLINICAL ADVANTAGES
- Digital enhancement & annotation
- Increased access to patient study
- Archive and exchange media are the same
- No generational loss with duplication
- Easy softcopy/hardcopy transmittal
