MCMH implemented Siemens Sienet Cosmos technology. This Picture Archiving and Communication System is a digital environment for the hospital. Traditional film X-rays are replaced with digital records that include studies and diagnostic data. Unlike a film environment, PACS enables the secure transmission and storage of records. Physicians and technologists can securely access information on demand. Studies are available anywhere, anytime. With a digital image, clinicians can rotate, magnify and compare studies online, which leads to a faster, more accurate diagnosis.
The Siemens AXIOM MULTIX M, digital radiography system is designed to improve workflow. The Multix M is patient and clinician friendly. Multiple exams can be conducted without moving the patient. The flat panel technology means the equipment can be brought to the patient. For individuals in a wheelchair or on a gurney, this means increased comfort and faster exams. For clinicians, this intuitive technology means fewer retakes, faster examinations and integration with the digital environment.
