Streamlining information exchange
With Siemens Corporate Research's multimedia medical reporting software, radiologists can share voice messages and annotations about scans without waiting for the actual reports. Information and communication technologies vastly increase the speed of health care processes. Doctors use data lines to send images to colleagues hundreds of miles away for a second opinion. Comments can be added and transmitted as electronic notes attached to the images.
