A dependable mammography workstation is a necessary piece of equipment for every medical facility, but until recently, only the largest medical centers had access to them. However, as has been the case with the personal computer, the cost of technology that undelies radiology medical imaging has continued to drop; the result is the development of an affordable pacs (Picture Archive and Communication System) for cancer clinics and other medical facilities on a limited budget - meaning that virtually every community medical facility can now have access to the same mammography workstation technology enjoyed by prestigious hospitals and major universities.

Candelis pacs enable medical professionals to access pacs workstations in real time over the World Wide Web. The Candelis pacs makes possible more effective communication, more streamlined record-keeping and storage as well as the ability to view medical images from a wide variety of equipment including CT and MRI scans as well as a mammo viewer.

Such pacs workstations have functions that go beyond that of a mammo viewer and other types of radiology medical imaging. Because it is capable of storing virtually any type of digital file, this highly affordable pacs also allows the medical office to store and retrieve records of all kinds. It makes all necessary recording and filing of patient information much more efficient, allowing the staff to focus more on patient needs while cutting down on the time required for clerical work.

How does this device differ from an ordinary server? The main difference is that it is that ordinary servers are set up to deal primarily with text and .html as well as file transfer. The data from radiology medical imaging has different requirements that cannot normally be handled by an ordinary server. Add to that the unique software that enables medical personnel from anyplace in the world to access medical data in a multiplicity of modalities, and it's easy to see how useful this PACS really is.

The data stored on this PACS is easily accessed from any mammography workstation that is also connected to the World Wide Web,allowing for genuine real-time collaboration among the members of the cancer patient's treatment team for less in terms of resources - both monetary and in terms of energy - than ever before. Each radiologist in the facility will appreciate the functionality of their mammography workstation, while those in accounting will appreciate the value and the economy of the entire system.
