Why do hospitals still print imaging films?

First, your question is imprecise.

First: not all hospitals in our country currently print imaging films, and you haven't investigated that.

What do you mean by the popularization of computerized information?

It means that every computer in our hospital has access to the images taken by the patient, and there is generally no need to reprint them, i.e., every computer in the hospital is accessible, both in the outpatient and inpatient departments.

Image 1: This is before

Image 2: This is now! Our hospital basically looks like this!

Currently, the city tries to make the city's available to all public hospitals imaging reports available, and is working on it.

Unless, the patient needs to take the film to the field or higher hospitals, such as the discovery of anomalies, the family needs to be out of town or higher hospitals, the need to take the film to the field doctors or experts, generally do not need to print the film.

Ordinary chest film and other x-ray film is also cheap, if it is CT or MRI film cost is still a little expensive.

Not printing film can reduce the cost of patients, while environmental protection.

Second: the print out of the image film doctors generally do not see, it is simply not good!

First, I look at it every time, using my computer to look up the images the child has just had taken, such as a chest X-ray, CT or MRI, and then analyze the condition.

I also believe that the vast majority of doctors in our country look at film, as I did in images 1 and 2 above.

1 Used to look at it like this:

Holding it in your hand

Looking at it with a wall light

2 Now look at it in front of a computer:

Now look at it in front of a computer on an outpatient basis, and sometimes refer to it to analyze it for the patient

But at the moment, we don't do it in color, and we do it this way for ourselves and for the patients who come to our office

I hope the country will see that the majority of doctors in our country are looking at the film as I did in pictures 1 and 2 above.

But at the moment we are not in color, and we show ourselves and our patients this way. strong> Third: I hope that the people of the country will see the progress of the motherland

It is not because they see it that it must be true.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Our country has been developing rapidly in the past few years, and technology is gradually becoming more and more sophisticated, but of course there's a lot of room for improvement, and we need to continue to develop.

We hope that technology and medicine will gradually penetrate our hospitals.

Hospital film is now self-service printing, need to print, do not need to do not play, print is also convenient if you go to other hospitals to see a convenient point.

In large and small hospitals began to promote and popularize the hospital LAN, radiological impact, ultrasound imaging, pathology, medical testing results have basically realized the internal **** enjoy. To put it simply, clinicians can read the DR, CT, MRI and other digital images from the radiology imaging department directly on their computers as long as they turn on the computers in their own departments. This is similar to the digital camera and the traditional photographic film camera, with the advancement of digital imaging technology, nowadays radiological imaging equipment electronic imaging resolution has long exceeded the film. Even when film is produced from a digital image, the resolution is much lower than the digital image itself. More importantly, film is a fixed size, while digital images can be enlarged and reduced as needed. Therefore, digital images that can be viewed directly on a computer have a greater advantage than film! So why are many hospital radiology departments still developing film?

But so far, the ability to achieve internal **** enjoyment of digital images is basically limited to a hospital's internal LAN. Simply put, the only people who can see digital images from radiology imaging are doctors from other departments in the hospital, and doctors from outside the hospital can't realize the direct network **** enjoyment. This is a bit of a problem, after all, nowadays the choice of hospital is the patient's freedom. I don't want to see this hospital anymore, I can always go to another one.

It's true that digital images can be made into CD-ROMs or stored on a U disk. The problem is that most of the hospitals in our country have restricted the use of mobile storage device interfaces on most of the computers for internal LAN security reasons. Simply put, if you do not have the appropriate permissions to use, even if the U inserted into the computer, the computer does not respond to ...... cell phone is also the case, if you do not have the appropriate permissions, the cell phone data line can only be used as a charging line. As for the CD-ROM drive, honestly, I haven't seen a few hospital computers loaded with this stuff.

In this way, even if some hospitals have burned CD-ROMs for patients or stored digital imaging data on a USB flash drive, patients can get to another hospital for consultation, and the doctors at that hospital may not be able to open it directly to look at ...... This is the reality that a lot of patients have had problems. This is a problem that many patients have encountered in reality, taking the CD-ROM of hospital A to hospital B for consultation, the result is that the computer of the doctor of hospital B does not have an optical drive, the CD-ROM instantly becomes a "waste plastic sheet"! In contrast, film does not have such a problem, and is itself a "photo" that can be viewed without the use of any computer driver, or even a computer at all.

The large population base is a national condition that cannot be avoided in our country, because of the large population, our large and medium-sized tertiary hospitals almost all of them are open and overcrowded, and most of the auxiliary departments of public hospitals in China are understaffed. Understaffed, many hospitals radiology and imaging department even physicians also have a technician's job ...... In order to alleviate the pressure caused by the lack of staff, nowadays many hospitals are set up film self-service printers, patients can print their own film on the machine.

But so far, it seems that no hospital has set up a specialized self-service CD burner. The problem is that the discs can only be made by radiography technicians, and many hospitals are understaffed and overstretched in their radiography departments, and for no reason at all, the people involved have to spend a lot of time burning discs with no real diagnostic significance, which is obviously more trouble than it's worth. After all, films are simple to produce and they do not affect patients' ability to take them to other hospitals, do they? Under such a premise, CD-ROMs seem to be a bit of a "chicken rib". USB storage devices, too, not only increase the workload of the radiological imaging department, but also personal USB flash drives also exist in the hospital internal LAN security risks , if the storage device carries a virus, it is likely to cause the hospital LAN paralysis, then it is a good thing to do. The loss is more than offset by the paralysis of the local area network (LAN).

In summary, digital imaging has the advantage that film is incomparable, but the current state of hospitals in China is not enough to support digital imaging to completely replace film. The replacement of film with digital imaging is a major trend, and some hospitals have already begun to test the waters. In the near future, if the CD-ROM self-service recording equipment can be popularized in hospitals, hospitals to increase the CD-ROM drive project is not too complex, the cost is basically acceptable, after all, the CD-ROM drive is not something valuable. But directly from the patient with mobile storage device storage, the possibility should not be very big, after all, involves the security of the internal LAN of each hospital, if this causes information leakage, LAN paralysis, that is a big trouble!

It just so happens that our hospital is not printing film anymore, and I actually have something to say about that!

It's true that this film is a bit of a waste of resources, and the film is a selection of excerpts that don't look as complete as they do on the computer! For being on the ward, it's true for the internist, and usually we don't look at the patient's printed film!

But! I want to say but!

For the surgeon doctor in the operating room for surgery is too inconvenient!!!! I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, in order to distinguish the left and right sides before surgery, all is to read the markings, read the report, read the film, I think the markings may be wrong, the report may be wrong, the film will not be wrong, right? Less to see the same uncomfortable, before the film hanging in the shadowless lamp can be seen, such as some small tumors or stones can not be found when always like to go back to look at the film, now well, turn your head to the empty nothing, the operating room's computer nurses will have to be used to report ......... ...too inconvenient

Money to buy things, did not eat in the mouth, did not wear in the body, did not take in the hand, the heart can be comfortable? The hospital paperless just started not to print film, was complained more, then print film.

That said, after printing the film, the follow-up review, consultation, referral, etc. to facilitate access to the doctor, to grasp the patient's objective condition information.

Used to be to see Now there are pacs More often than not, patients keep their own files to go to an outside hospital to see a doctor with.

Film is easy to carry, especially to facilitate the doctor to read the film, the electronic file is often a format problem; film with the hospital LOGO, you can know the source of the image, there is authoritative, and the electronic file is a variety of PS, poor authority; public hospitals inherent thinking.

Film is a product of the old days. In terms of the present, it has completely lost its significance. The hospital has its own pacs system, computer browsing can be faster, more convenient and clearer. ct, magnetic **** vibration can also show more images. What's the use of film, just take it home and throw it in the garbage

Support to cancel the printing of film. It's a waste of resources! Also not easy to store!
