When hanging protocols are not automated, medical images can appear in an order that does not make sense to the radiologist interpreting them. This disrupts Medical Imaging Workflows and can significantly slow down the reading and diagnosis processes in a radiology center, ultimately affecting efficiency and patient care.

Without the right medical imaging technology, these inefficiencies will cause disruptions in the workflow and the potential for lost revenue.

A picture archiving and communication system greatly improves workflows by ensuring all medical images are properly ordered, labeled, and follow the correct hanging protocol. With these automated processes in place, radiology departments can streamline processes and ultimately increase productivity.
